Lions and Tigers and Bears. Oh my!


HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BRODIE BEAR!

Brodie bear celebrated his first birthday on October 6th. We had a jungle party – complete with a Leonardo Lion cake! Which was easier to make than it looks, and comes complements of Granma. Thank you Granma! My Mum, Dad and brother came up for the weekend to celebrate, and we had a party on Saturday afternoon. We had our friends Janine, Neri and Antonio (and their wonderful friends from Scotland), Megan, Ryan and Isobel (10 months old),Cate and Maya and Zach (9 months old), and Isobel (age 10 months) and Zach (age 9 months) to help celebrate the day.

Brodie had a lot of fun out on the balcony, checking out the other babies and getting cuddles from everyone. He wasn’t so sure about the cake at first, but after 1 taste of the orange icing, he was hooked. He was covered in orange icing by the end, and so was I. Mental note – do not wear a white skirt and pale pink top when celebrating Brodies birthday next time. It was a lovely day, the weather was great and I think everyone had a nice time. Especially Brodie, who was very tired and slept very soundly.

Ciao
