Party Hearty!

It was Party Central at OlderSon's house on Sunday. An assortment of uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents, including one great-uncle and one great-aunt, battled their way through the snow flurries to help celebrate Callum's first birthday.

The Equestrienne created a splendid train cake.
The tracks were made of black liquorice and coffee stir stix.
The windows were Smarties.
The wheels were chocolate cookies.
And the cargo was marshmallows.

His cousins showed him how to blow the candle out and then it was time to EAT!

Once the prezzies are all opened, you can have so much fun tearing up the wrapping paper.

And of course, wearing a SuperMan cape gives you extra SuperBaby strength and energy to party till you drop. Which he did..... eventually! That boy is a true Party Animal!!! He's already looking forward to next year.

  12. His first year seems to have gone so quickly!
    Sorry I haven't been around, but seem to have been suffering from mid-winter apathy!
    I had six days with Maalie in Austria in February (brrrr) which was fun, but haven't seemed able to get my arse into gear to write about it!
    Anyway, this time next week I am off to Japan to see my little grandson for a couple of weeks.
    Will try to get something up before then.
    Callum is gorgeous in his superman outfit and what a clever mum to make that cake!
