1st Birthday ...Part 2

DD's birthday on Monday went really well. We had a quiet morning - opened some presents and pottered about the house. Then Grandma came down at lunchtime and we opened the rest of her pressies and then went to the Botanics for a walk. Had a nice wander around and fed the ducks, then went to the cafe for a coffee and home.

MIL came back around in the evening for tea and to watch 'March of the Penguins'. I gave it to DH for Xmas and it has taken us until now to get to watch it! Really enjoyed it - the photography was stunning and the story of the conditions the penguins endure was actually quite gripping.LOL

1st Birthday Party!

We held DD's 1st birthday party yesterday, as her birthday is on Monday and everybody is working! We kept it small - just a few friends and only 1 other baby. Have learnt from experience that our livingroom is not big enough for lots of crawling babies.LOL

DD was a little bemused by all the attention but enjoyed playing with her friend and getting cuddles from the adults. Can't believe it is a year since she was born, the time has flown by in a blur. Seems like yesterday she was a tiny little scrap and now she looks like she is on the verge of walking.

Made an accordian card up for the birthday from a Lisa Beardsen kit I got from QVC - turned out as a very cute little album with a nice pocket for 2 tags to go in, with messages from me and DH.

DH is taking Monday off work and we are going out for a birthday lunch with Grandma and hopefully if the weather is good, a walk in the Botanics.
