Oliver's 3rd Birthday

Oliver turned 3 on Saturday!  Of course, the day started early, because there is no convincing an excited toddler that 5:20am is too early when there are presents to be opened!  Thankfully, snuggles with Mommy and some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was able to hold him off a bit until the rest of the house started to stir.  At 6:30am, while the babies were having their morning bottle, Oliver was opening presents!

None of the presents we had gotten him were things he could play with immediately (mental note for next year).  The walkie-talkies from Daddy are very cool and will come in handy this summer at the SSC.  At the last consignment sale I was able to score a VTech 2 and some games and some story collections (presents from da-brothers).  The video games are still a bit over his head, but I'm sure he will pick it up quickly.  Thankfully, Pauline got him a very cool farm tractor with a wagon that tips over.  He got a cute fireman shirt from Jana, which he insisted on wearing that day - how cute that both Pauline & Jana sent him presents!

Since his party was on Sunday, we decided to do a family outing to celebrate Oliver's birthday.  We headed to Please Touch Museum - one of Oliver's favorites.  Now that the babies are mobile, they were able to have a bit of fun as well (not like the last time Oliver & I had met Nicole & Devon at the museum).  Lukas napped for quite a while, so he didn't play that much, but Alex really loved climbing through tunnels and going down the slide in the 3 & Under areas.  

In the space room!

Oliver kept asking when we were going to eat cake.  So, while getting last minute groceries for the party, I got him an Elmo cupcake for after dinner.
