What A Great Night!!

Oliver's Olive Tree

We celebrated Oliver last night at the Olive Branch Celebration and it was a blast!!! Our friends Joe and Amanda got the whole event together with great music and food and we appreciate all of their work so much!! All of the volunteers were amazing and put so much love and energy into making the night so special for our family. John and I went home last night and all we could really say was, WOW! We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives with such caring hearts. Thank You Everybody. Each and every single one of you are so special to us. Thank You for helping us celebrate Oliver. Words cannot express what having you all there last night meant to us. Oliver had an eye appointment yesterday morning before the celebration and only took an hour nap. I was worried that he was going to have a rough night. He knew that he was surrounded with love and also enjoyed the dinner music and the Peder Eide concert. We all enjoyed the fantastic music and the kids were all dancing up a storm.


Peder Eide snuggling Oliver. Oliver LOVED his music. He was calm and totally digging it. Oliver has always been calmed by music, this was the perfect night. Thank You Peder Eide.


Here is the group of people who helped us celebrate, it was packed house!

Thank you Joe and Amanda for everything, you both have so many gifts and talents and we are blessed to have you as our friends. Thank You Peder for your fantastic music. Also, thank you for being so caring and loving. We were all touched by the night and it will forever impact our family.
Thank You Everybody.
