Oliver's birthday

It's that time of year again. The snow is falling, we're breaking out the elf jammie- wait what?!

No! It's actually Oliver's birthday! 

Mark and I agree that this little boy LOVES to celebrate people and he's good at it!

So, when the time comes for a special day to mark the arrival of this amazing blessing, we're SO happy to oblige. 

(Note the leftover mime makeup from the night before)

Breakfast: waffles and strawberries

My mom and the girls even spent the night so that we could all celebrate in the morning. 

Don't peek!

Daddy worked hard to refurbish this $5 find. It absolutely sparkled! You're awesome Mark!

(Note the second pair of pajamas for the day. What are birthdays for!)

Yea! This big boy upgraded to a mountain bike that shifts!

He absolutely took off. This kid's determination is remarkable!

Brownie points: 

Mark bought and wrapped a special present from him to Oliver. 

Silly string, a real slingshot, and other "guy" gifts

A typical Oliver face

Pizza for dinner!

Chocolate cake with canned chocolate frosting. Don't give him any of that yucky homemade junk;)

This says it all! A happy day for a happy boy, who makes our loves exponentially better!
