The twins turn 1!

On Saturday Max's twin cousins celebrated their first birthday. It really doesn't seem like a whole year ago since we were telling our peanut that his/her cousins were here! It also means that Max's birthday isn't too far away, another very exciting event.

The twins had their birthday party at a park near their house. Max and I drove up and left Cam here to have a sleep and try to get better from his cold, and Max was very good by deciding to have his afternoon nap in the car on the way there, which meant that he was happy and excited to be at the park for the party. He especially had fun playing with his uncle Cam, who spent ages teaching Max to throw various toys and had him smiling and laughing the whole time.

It was also a good chance for Max to see both his Grandma and his great-grandma. His great-grandma hasn't seen him since he was about 5 months old so she enjoyed watching him play with uncle Cam, show off his walking skills while holding my hands, and having a cuddle.

As you can see, he also enjoyed eating the party food! It was his first introduction to twisties, which he likes very much, and another chance to wolf down some cheerios (tiny sausages, not cereal).

The twins also enjoyed their party and being the centre of attention. I think one of their highlights would be the awesome birthday cakes lovingly made by their mother. They each got to tackle a cake-shaped number 1 while sitting in their high chairs.

Elke (on the left) decided the best way to eat hers was not to bother picking it up, but just planting her face straight into the icing. Gabbie was a bit neater but still evidently enjoyed the icing lots.


All the little ones had a fun party and now we are looking forward to having Max's! (remember to keep the 19th of July free!)
