On Saturday we celebrated Eli's first birthday with a birthday bash at our house. It was pretty exciting having 14 little ones and their parents round, and we were up until the small hours the night before baking the cake.
At this age, there's clearly not the pressure of having to sort out party games, but nevertheless there was the booze (for the parents) and food to organise.
Eli got some lovely gifts off his guests, and we were blessed with some really great weather which allowed us to spend a lot of time in the garden. Everyone got along really well, bonded together by parenthood and a general lack of sleep.
I read somewhere that your first birthday is much like your last - you've not got many teeth, you haven't invited anyone who comes along and you don't really know much about what is going on.
Anyway, here's some pictures...Happy Birthday Eli!
