Ollie's 1st Birthday Party

-be prepared for a ton of pictures-

So, Friday, June 24th, we headed up to my parents to start the party process. It was a balloon theme so we stayed up pretty late blowing up balloons (with an air compressor) and baking cakes and making cake pops. I was so thankful for more help!

Saturday morning we were up and getting ready. I got a little break to do Marie's hair for a wedding she was in...

Mom preparing the fruit kabobs...

The gym all decorated and ready to go...

Some of Andrew's family came early to help get ready, here are the men helping :)...

Some of our guests (I feel so bad that I didn't get a picture of all of them! I will have to get them from Mom Wiese) ...

Getting ready to eat...


Didn't get a picture of everything but the menu was:

2 different kinds of maidrites

baked beans

veggie tray

fruit kabobs

chips

Marie stopped by between the wedding and reception to say "Happy Birthday" to Ollie...

After we ate Andrew organized the games he had prepared. The first game was a balloon dart game...
And the second one was where you tie a balloon around your ankle and try to be the last person that gets yours stomped on. The kids (and adults) loved them...

Ollie and some of his cousins...
Next it was time for cake. Here are the cake pops we made and my lovely husband made the stand for me!

And Oliver's smash cake...
Singing "Happy Birthday"...
Here is the cake I made for everyone else to eat...

He did not like his cake!

He did enjoy playing with a cake pop though...

Present time... Ollie got so many fun gifts!

His 1 year birthday shirt I made him....

Dad and Mom Wiese with their grandkids...

We are so thankful that so much family could make it! It wouldn't have been the same without you all! Thanks for making Ollie's first birthday so special!

Ollie and Uncle Drew the next morning...
