Ollie Airlines!

Oliver's Birthday Party Post is HERE!!

Ollie's birthday party was on Saturday May 28th at our house.  We set the time for Noon because at the time he was still taking two naps (one at 10 and one at 2) and I did not want to risk having a not so happy birthday boy.  So we decided on Noon and of course that also meant we had to serve FOOD FOOD!!

Thanks to our wonderful family helpers we had quite the spread.  Ollie's great grandpa made a brisket.  Gammy bought a ham.  We set up a sandwich station with 3 different types of mustard and mayo for everyone to make their own sandwiches.  We also had potato salad, coleslaw and fruit.  We served sweet tea and watermelon punch for drinks.

Ollie woke up just in time for his party!!

 Cake station!!

Laura made the cake and it turned out PERFECT as always!!

Baggage check station for ALL the gifts!

Ollie's Auntie M made all the cute signs and painted frames and letters for the party!

Party favor station!

Auntie M decorated airplane sugar cookies and we put them in clear bags with a party tag!  The tag said Thanks for flying on Ollie Arlines!! TOO CUTE!!

Fun letters spelling out the birthday boys name!

CAKE SMASH TIME!!!

We decided to set this up outside for clean up reasons!

 Ollie enjoyed his chocolate cake so much that he had to get a quick bath before he opened his presents.

 Oliver's 1st birthday party was a huge success!!  So many wonderful friends and family came to celebrate such a special little boys first year.  It has been an amazing year that has gone by too fast.  We have watched precious little baby grow into an energetic and happy toddler!!  I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

We LOVE you Oliver James!!
