It's My Party....

 

Given that Acorn could arrive any moment mum and dad decided to have a small gathering for my first birthday rather than an extraviganza.

Mum made some party invites and emailed them to all my friend's mums and dads.

We ended up with 6 of my friends (aged 2 months to 16 months) and their parents which was just the right number for our loungeroom. 

It was funny as the computer room was converted into a buggy/pram parking lot.  It was very interesting to see the variety you can get (and no two were the same).

Mum made a lamington birthday cake, monkey balls, fairy bread, etc.  Cooked some sausage rolls, onion barji's and vegetable balls.  We also had some chips, cheese balls, doritos, mini donuts, custard slices, coke a cola, lemonade and cordial. 

As usual there was too much so we'll be eating the remainders for weeks.

I was given lots of lovely pressents which we opened after everyone sang Happy Birthday to me.

That's a shark backpack on the left (for our trip back to Oz at christmas).

Mum even got a box of chocolates for organising the party.






We gave everyone a party bag to take home.  It contained a little book, a baby snack bar, some lollies (including lolly pops), balloons and a small bottle of bubbles (with bubble wand).
