We had Kaleb's first birthday party in the park near the beach. It was a beautiful day, a little bit windy, but nothing like we've had the last few weeks. It started off a pretty crappy day, as I was up to him 6 times during the night with his teething :( I then took the older boys to swimming lessons, let Ali get some organising for the party done, and took Kaleb down to mum's for his morning sleep. Well, we must've overstimulated him with the presents and all the balloons cause he knew something was happening and there was no way he was going to have a sleep. The party was 10.30am (trying to work around sleeps) and at 10.30am I called mum and he still hadn't gone to sleep so I told them to bring him down and we'd worry about sleep later. We had approx 40 people there (incl kids) and we had a bbq lunch. Very scrumptious home made chicken rissoles (thanks Margaret) and we had a couple of salads. All very yummy!!!
Considering how tired he was, he behaved really well!! I had his cake made by the local bakery - fresh cream of course lol.. It is a Thomas the Tank Engine motif on it. Geez, I think he liked it...
His first piece of cake - no doubt he'll have a sweet tooth, just like his mum, his dad, and his brothers.
Sorry, my photos are a bit out of order, I bought a new camera on Friday (YAY!!) a Panasonic Lumix, so I had 2 cameras going on the day. I love this photo of Ethan in the tree. He is such a gorgeous boy!!
This was the morning of Kaleb's birthday, in our bedroom, filled with balloons. His presents from us were a Fisher Price vaccum cleaner (gotta teach them young lol) and a Pooh Bear that sings lullabies and his face lights up. It is soooo cute!!
This is by far the best family photo taken on the day! It sure is hard trying to get 5 people to look the same way at the same time. Oh well, I love this one anyway.
This is Kaleb giving his cousin Josh a kiss goodbye. So cute!! Josh will be one in May, it's so nice for them to be so close.
