Oliver turned 3 in September! I can't believe how grown up he is getting.
As part of his 12 days, I gave him cake mix. He couldn't do it all by himself like his sisters, but he did help a lot and loved it. He thought it was the greatest thing!
I thought I'd be more excited for this present than he was, but I sorely underestimated how excited he would be for a shirt that not only had a tractor on it, but his name as well. I love how much he loved it!
He got lots of tractors and candy and was in heaven!
Decorating for his birthday so he woke up to it!
I normally make cake donuts for the kids' birthdays, but between feeling exhausted and still somewhat sick from pregnancy and all the family reunion stuff we did over the weekend, I just didn't have it in me. I asked Oliver about buying donuts and he said no, he wanted me to make some. I compromised and made cake donuts (waaaaay easier) and he loved them.
We spent the afternoon playing in water at cousin's house as part of the reunion and Oliver loved it!
Oliver is all things tractors right now, so deciding his birthday theme was very easy.
He wanted angel food cake for his dessert, so that's what I made for him.
I struggled quite a bit with preparing this birthday. I felt like I had no energy left and didn't feel great. Ben watched the kids at his parents during the water party while I finished setting up and cleaning the house and I was happy with how it turned out. Oliver loved it and that's what matters.
Happy birthday, Oliver!
He had a great time celebrating with family!
Later in the month, we did his birthday date. We had some different ideas for him, but we ended up going simple and taking him on a four wheeler ride and buying him a candy of his choice. He loved it, simplicity and all!
We love having Oliver in our family!
