One of the benefits of holding birthday parties in Nebraska—especially over Thanksgiving weekend—is that most of our family members are able to attend. Here are a few shots of those who helped Olivia celebrate.
Bryan and his dad, Doug:
Gramma Great, our generous hostess:
And our gracious host, Grampa Great:
My mother-in-law Karyl and sister-in-law Jess:
My sister-in-law—the newly-minted Dr. Capp—as well as my nieces, Sylvia and Hazel, and Ava.
Hazel seemed to be quite fond of Ava—and Ava was DEFINITELY fond of Hazel.
Hazel’s twin, Eliza:
Aunt Katie joined via teleconference from Boston:
Mom had a chat with her, too:
Here’s my stepdad Dave. (Happy birthday to you, Dave!)
And here’s a self portrait of the proud parents:
And some of our littlest guests, including Wyatt, who’s about to turn three as well:
And Leo, showing off the treat bags:
And my newest niece, Sylvia, who is a month old today. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate! More party pics coming soon.

The most amazing event at the party was watching Olivia transform from a ladybug to a princess. Should be a Disney movie!

That’s quite a good looking bunch of nieces and nephews! (Ava and Olivia look adorable as usual, too.)
