The day after the day after Christmas was supposed to be our Christmas with Oliver’s Nana and Grand Dad. Unfortunately, Nana got sick over the holidays and in the interest of keeping Oliver healthy, Nana stayed back from the festivities. So, Grand Dad came over and celebrated with us for the afternoon. We opened some gifts and had a grand ‘ol time.

Here are a couple of portraits taken of Oliver and his Grand Dad.

Cheers!

We had the best intentions. Everything was in order: thirty plus people coming to our house; loot bags were done and ready; cake was made; outfits were picked out. Everything you do to prepare for your son’s first birthday party.

Then, Oliver had a bad day. He wasn’t himself and something was clearly wrong. Dana takes him to the doctor’s to find out he has his first ear infection. We have to make a tough decision and cancel the party. We’re heartbroken but Oliver is in no condition to party.

So to have some sort of celebration, we have Dana’s parents, her sister, brother-in-law and their daughter over for some cake and gift opening. As you’ll see in the pictures below, Oliver is clearly not himself. But we had a nice time nonetheless.

There is a selection of photos from the day below. The rest of the photos can be found in my flickr gallery here.

Cheers!
