Nate's birthday Party.

Sorry been a bit slack in getting this up and out there.

The afternoon of the party , which was in the evening Tahlia had her nap and this is how we found her asleep in her bed... How painful does this look.

We had both side of the family come over for dinner. Nate had a real ball, being at the table with so many people and having a good laugh with Aunty Karen. He had to test out his new tools and kept "cutting" of her limbs and then sewing them back on only to cut them off again. I am not even sure if she went home with all her limbs.

Nige and l made a joint effort and made a dinosaur cake or as Nate calls it a "dinosauras" cake. We did run out of icing so excuse the edges where there is no icing. Nate loved his cake of course.

Singing Happy Birthday.




Nate's 3rd birthday cake.

Then it was time for presents and the best part of the evening for Nate (that and eating the cake). As you can tell he is wearing a hard hat, that was his gift from us as well as the tool bench and tools. Our budding little builder in the making. So he had to wear that hat everywhere.

His train puzzle from grandma and grandad.

You can probably see a mark on his eye too, well he had to run head first or should say face first into the edge of the table just as everyone got here. The odd thing is l can remember him doing the same thing last year on his 2nd birthday.

His monkey that laughs as you press his belly. Tahlia thought this was a hit. Thanks Aunty Tori and Uncle Dave for such a noisy toy!



Tahlia trying out his new Bob the builder helmet. Thanks Nanny and Pop.

Grandma made a lovely cushion for Nate, and it was rather entertaining watching his face expression as he opened the gift. He had no idea what it was until we told him grandma had made him a cushion. Then his face lit up and he did what an normal 3 year old would do and jumped up and down and rolled all over it. At least he has a soft landing now.

Thanks Grandma.

He had a great evening with the family and even shared his lollies he was given. You had no choice which one he offered you but was lovely to see him sharing.

He was even kind enough to offer his room to nanny and pop to sleep in. But no the bed was his and he offered them his bean bag to sleep on. But at least he remembered to give them a pillow and blanket.

Till his next birthday.....
