Oliver Turns Four

Today our Oliver turned four years old. He had his sister make him a calendar to hang on his wall and every night he would cross off the days until his birthday. He has been looking forward to this special day for quite some time and his siblings were so great about making homemade cards and wrapping little gifts for him a few days before the big day.

We started the day with pancakes at the birthday boys request, and just for fun I added a candle because this guy loves blowing out candles!

In the afternoon we headed up to the apple orchard and picked a few of the trees that were ready. We picked an apple-crab tree and the Sunnybrooks. Ollie loves being outside and helping with whatever we've got going on.

We picked all of the ones we could reach from the ground and then Grampa climbed the ladder and used his long arms to reach all of the apples that were too high for us.

 

We finished off the night with homemade pizza, angel food cake and ice cream. Oliver brings so much laughter and love to our family. He's always giving back rubs and hugs and has a smile that will light up your world. He has been wearing the same outfit for four days and often wears mismatched shoes outside to play. He is easy going and fun loving and we are so glad he's a part of our family!
