Elsa named Oliver "Robin Hood" when he was just a few months old growing inside of me, so i was only fitting that he got a Robin Hood for his first birthday cake. I don't have the words to express the delight I had in making his cake (which I actually made twice, because the first time I forgot the sweetener!), much less the ability to articulate the deep joy of the miracle that we even got to celebrate a birthday with him. On his birthday we invited a few close friends over who have been particularly helpful over the last few months, and we had a delightful evening.
Oliver didn't get to eat any of course, but Nora enjoyed it plenty enough for the two of them I think!
A friend had this darling birthday hat made and sent to us, (Thank you Tia! It was perfect!). And thank you to everyone who sent cards and birthday greetings.
"I love you" whispers:
and birthday kisses:
Happy Birthday, our sweet little one.
I love that hat.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, sweet boy!
p.s. I love his cake, too, which was the initial reason why I came to comment! Robin Hood never ate so well. :)
