Alex's First Birthday Party

Last Saturday 9th August, we held Alex's party. We're lucky to have a little park with "club house" just down the road from our apartment. We booked the club house for the afternoon and crossed out fingers for good weather. Fortunately, everything went to plan, the rain held off and fun was had by all.

Aunty Emma came from Denmark a few days before the party and helped me with preparations. We madly baked and cooked during Alex's naps and on Saturday morning, Duncan had babysitting duties while we did the last minute things.

Our "theme" was balloons. Emma was in charge of icing the cupcakes ... didn't she do a great job?


Here's the food ready and waiting at the club house


Alex was his normal busy self - exploring everything.


Blowing out the candle! And the only pic of the three of us. We must do better on his "real" birthday.


Alex likes cake - he must have the "Bain" sweet tooth

Aunty Emma likes taking "arty" photographs
