kids’ birthdays are fun. this weekend we had a very small and intimate party for lion as he turned the big ONE. we had a picnic outside at a park, by a river, in the sunshine. it was a great day spent with family celebrating lion’s first year filled with games and various shenanigans.

bear is our family’s birthday cake designer and assistant baker. he decided a long time ago that he wants a triangle cake for his 4th birthday (in february) and that lion should have a circle cake for his 1st birthday. from the circle cake idea we morffed into cupcakes with loads of candy on top! yum!

lion was showered with fantastic presents from his grandparents, auntie K and uncle L, and of course his lovely parents (wink), which he seemed quite delighted with. as did his big brother!
