Oliver's 1st Birthday Party!
We had Oliver's first birthday party on the 13th of December. Oliver was taking a nap when people started arriving at 4pm. Grandma went up and brought him down for the party.
We had tostada stacks, a recipe that I found in a cookbook that my sister-in-law Lori gave me. It turned out to be a good idea. - I showed everyone what the cookbook photo looked like then they could make their own how they wanted. Originally we cut out small 3 inch circles out of large tortillas and baked them so that our guests could choose to put chicken or ground beef, tomatoes, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes and sauce on their tostadas. I told everyone that I would then take a photo of each tostada stack and see whose looked the most like the photo in the cookbook. I was just kidding but I did end up taking some photos of the food.

Oliver really got into his cake - which was fun to watch. We had a red car pinata which we filled up with mini chocolate candy bars and toys.
Dad and Karlan were standing by each other one time and Zayden was a little confused at first, as to which one was his Grandpa -but he figured out. - He knows who Grandpa is! :)
Oliver's cousins didn't mind helping Oliver open his presents and help him break in his new toys.
