We had Oliver's first birthday party yesterday and it was a wonderful day! Pieter's brother Andrew and sister in law Katherine Jane came by with their two sons, EC and Kees. They live about 50 miles from us and we do not get to see them very often. (Unfortunately, we did not get pictures before they left...) We had lots of good food: homemade hummus (lots of garlic and kalamata olives) with garlic naan, layered bean dip with blue corn and sesame tortilla chips, banana cakes and brownies. Kara even tried to feed Oliver some bean dip. Joseph and Olivia were a big help: entertaining Oliver and Kara, helping Oliver open presents, putting together new toys. It was wonder to have so many people that I love in the same room. (This is kind of an opening act for next weekend's event, Cassadi and Frank's wedding). You can see all of the pictures from the day here.
Oliver's cake was really cute, but he did not really care for the blueberry cream cheese frosting that I put on it. After he had a fresh banana (and calmed down), he devoured a plain banana cake. 
The cakes were in the shape of a star. This made them really easy for his little hands to handle.
Choo, Choo!
Kara helped Oliver try out his new toys.
