happy first birthday!

Our oldest celebrated his first birthday with friends and family at the park opposite where we lived in the city in Sydney. Our daughter had a combined pirate party with her brother in our backyard for her first birthday. Our youngest turned one at Middle Lagoon at Cape Leveque and he also had a party to celebrate the momentous occasion. 

Arlo was surrounded by new friends we've met on our travels, the Nelson- Hauers, Kate, Roo and their family of four kids and surrogate grandparents Gail and Terry. The camp site was decorated with homemade bunting and balloons. Arlo had a little help opening a few pressies that his grandparents and great grandmother had sent too. Thank you so much Jo for the photographs!

Thanks Gail and Terry for the bubbles! 

What's a party without games? The kids played pass the parcel and had a treasure hunt. The kids had to read and follow the clues throughout the campground. The final treasure was an....

ice-cream cake! A yummy treat for a stinking hot day! I made a carrot cake with cream cheese icing for the adults (but a few of them tucked in to a slice of both!) 

Happy Birthday Little Manny. You mean the world to us and you've brought us endless love in the first year of your life. Thank you for all that you bring to our family.
