Birthday party

We didn't really think things through when we decided to have child no.2. Don't get me wrong, we wanted more than one child and we are very happy with the children we have, it's just the timing of their births that is the problem. Milly's birthday is 19 April and Henry's birthday is 20 April. Having their birthdays one day apart means when the "big day" comes around it is double the effort - two cakes to make (well, three cakes really if you count the extra cake I have to make for Henry to take to preschool), two loads of presents to find homes for in the house, and a week either side of the "big day" of two over-excited youngsters.



This year we held another joint birthday party. With Henry starting school next year it will most likely be the last of the joint celebrations. Some pictures of the day below.

Henry requested a T-Rex dinosaur cake ...

... and Milly requested a love heart cake.

Party time! Let's open some presents! What did you get Henry?

Party table.

Funny face biscuits.

Henry's harem - Allegra, Madeleine and Luka.

Milly also found love - chocolate crackles.

Even Buster helped out as a weight for the balloons.
