Happy Second Birthday Toby

Saturday was Toby's second birthday and so we had a celebratory weekend. On Saturday it was just the four of us and on Sunday we had an open house for all the family to come and see the birthday boy and of course have a nosy round the new pad.

Toby's main present was a playmobil farm that he loved. Well, more specifically he particularly loved the combine harvester ("Frank") and the tractor and trailer. However the present he liked the best was a chocolate Easter egg that eventually had to be pried from him hands amid hysterical crying. I suppose I could just have let him eat the entire thing but it just seemed rather unwise since his sugar intake for the day was already a little on the high side.

Sunday saw some more fun and lovely gifts, the favourites for him being a red racing car and another tractor and trailer (a boy can never have too many it would seem!). In our family it is impossible to have a birthday without needing at least two cakes. This birthday was no different and Toby managed to got a football one on Saturday and a red racing car on Sunday. So far the second has not been broken into, I'm hoping Steve will take it into work for it to be disposed of in the least wasteful way.

Thankfully we had fabulous weather on Sunday and the kids spent much of the day playing in the garden. I didn't manage to get that many pics (sorry, I was taking care of the cake in the kitchen;)) but did snap a few here and there. Not long till Beth's birthday and I'm still racking my brains for party ideas . . .
