2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday we finally had Samuel's 2nd birthday party :-)  There were only a few of our friends that could come, but an enjoyable afternoon and evening all the same.  Samuel was spoilt and got some neat gifts ... 

A little back pack - perfect size for when he starts Montessori in August :-)

A Cookie Monster toy which he holds up to his ear like a phone and dances about while it sings hehee

A view finder.

His own "laptop" :-)

I made him a Barney cake.  Please excuse the terrible photo.  I was just about to cut it after the candles were removed and realised I hadn't taken a picture so quickly snapped this one!

Watching Daddy light the candles.

Not sure how to blow out the candles.

 But it was very exciting watching the flames!

 Aaron helped blow them out.

 Samuel wondering where the flames had gone hehee

 We lit them again so he could blow them out.  He had the noises right and lips were pursed. But I don't think there was much air coming out hehee  He got it in the end though :-)

 Enjoying the ice-cream we served with the cake.

And tonight he got another present from some friends that couldn't make it.  A very lucky little boy!  (Meanie Mum though quickly put this present away for our trip back to NZ so he has something to do on the plane!)  ;-)

Fancy him being 2 already!  And soon Maddison will be 5 and Aaron will be 7!  Time surely does fly by doesn't it. 

It seems only a few months ago it was Aaron that was turning 2!  haha
