What a busy but wonderful day. I had my doubts as to how it would go, still so much to do on the morning of the party and I was definately not feeling too energetic. Heidi was awake much of the night before with a cold which has lasted weeks and weeks. In fact the exact same thing happened the night before Ben's 1st bday a year ago but I was feeling much more tired then being 8 months pregnant with Heidi.
Everything came together at the very last minute (sort of)...was getting myself and Heidi dressed as the first of our guests arrived. Mum was a big help with the food and her general "calmness" and Patrick did a wonderful job with the decorations...some of which included paper decorations kept from when he was a child. Maybe I will start a family tradition and get them out for every family birthday.
Ben was in his element...he enjoyed it much for than his 1st birthday party....especially loved singing happy birthday, hip hip hooray and blowing out the candle.
