Well Oliver went ahead and turned 11. 11! I can't even believe it!
My hockey/lacrosse loving, kind, funny, and smart little man turned 11.
He had a blast playing with cousins.
And everyone enjoyed the gorgeous weather.
Every year the kids pick out their own birthday cakes, ever since they were little. The kids have always cracked up me with some of their choices. But as they have gotten older their choices have changed. This year Oliver was really stuck on a rainbow cake (he loves that his birthday is during Pride month) but he didn't like that it wasn't a cake (it was cupcakes) and ultimately he decided on a peanut butter and chocolate cake because he felt that everyone would enjoy it. Also, this cake had 11 chocolate swirls! His thought process cracked me up.
And of course he loved his presents!
One of Oliver's favorite gifts was a balance board. And we all had fun trying it out!
Oliver told me that it was his best birthday yet! He says this every year and that is one of the reasons why I love him so much. Oliver is so positive and flexible. He just has fun and handles whatever comes his way. He is smart, funny, and ridiculously kind. I am so proud of my guy and I am so thankful that 11 years ago I got to be his Mom. Happy birthday Oliver!!!!
