St. Ollie's Day

This is the face of a brand spankin new 5 year old
On our way to Ollie's favorite beach in Waikiki, we stumbled upon a St. Patty's Day parade. Oliver thanked himself for having a birthday so everyone could celebrate this wonderful day:)
Seeing the first group of parade goers. Ollie licking his fingers from his Coldstone ice cream birthday surprise thanks to Grandma who sent us ice cream money!
Cute as can be
Nice kiltsThe bagpipes are really some of the best sounds of all
Amelie being shy but cute to everyone that waved as they passed
This was a favorite band. I secretely want Ryan to have a uniform like this. Just so snazzy!
This is my dream car...
First candle down
Our little Oliver makes life so happy. He is truly the most enthusiastic little boy you've ever met. He has endless energy. He is the best person to surprise because whatever you have he will be so grateful and happy for. He is a sensitive, nurturing little soul. If there is ever injustice on a show he is watching, like someone is getting picked on, he takes it very hard, often bursting into tears. He is a lover. This morning when he came in our room I said "happy birthday ollie" and he gave me a hug and said "mom, thanks for saying happy birthday" so sincerely. He asks for a snuggle several times a day. He is a loving, patient big brother often sticking up for Amelie at the park when she's picking fights with other kids:) As we all know, he is an amazing artist, taking care to put details into everything he cares about. His latest works consist of surfing and skateboarding. He loves having friends around at all times, and often makes me get out of my comfort zone to talk to strangers and invite people over to play. Ollie really didn't have a hard time with our move. He is always excited for an adventure, and the possibility of something new. He just sees life this way I think. He has the best traits from all of his family:) As a teenager we might be in trouble but for now, he is all mine and I love that sweet face everyday. Ollie, happy 5th birthday, love you forever

We celebrated Ollie's birthday too with some green eggs for breakfast and some green curry for dinner.

LOVED your description of Ollie's personality. He's destined for great things and his awesome parents are doing just the right stuff to help him get there. By the way, how's the "baby hunger" going? -- AB
