1st Birthday Party

First thing we did was to set up the garden. Rob put the gazebo up and I put out all the table, chairs and toys.

The Challis family arrived nice and early which was great as they helped to watch kids and to set things up. Thanks guys xxx

Leo woke up from his nap and I dressed him in his party outfit which he looked super cute in.

Then all the guests started to arrive and we all sat in the garden playing, chatting, eating, drinking and just generally chilling out.

As I was quite busy trying to chat to everyone, Charlotte and my Mum kindly took loads of pictures for me. Here are the results.

I bought Leo a cake from Marks & Spencer and it was in the shape of a lion. I loved it and decided that this would be Leo's theme from now on, lions.

We took the cake outside to sing but the wind blew the candle out and some of us started singing before everyone was ready so it was a bit disorganised but still good.

People started to leave not long after 5pm but there were a few stragglers that we just couldn't get rid of ;o)

We continued to chill out in the garden for a bit before putting the boys to bed.

Leo was shattered and crashed straight after his bath.

Rob and I then spent the evening clearing up. It took quite a long time but the house and garden ended up being tidier and cleaner than before.

Party done but still have to do the actual birthday, which we had a whole day planned for.
