More Family

Mario had had a wonderful weekend catching up with his cousins - for Lucas' 1st birthday and also catching up with other friends but also had to say farewell to his Nanny who had been staying with us for 2 weeks.

Peters Mum is not one for posing or being in pictures so she was very hard to "snap" but this one was taken on the final day as we were getting ready to drive her home

Catching up with family is always fun and everyone played together so well but trying to get 4 little children to pose for a photo together to capture the moment was near impossible. It will just be the memories and the photos that we have that will piece together that time. (The birthday boy is in the blue t shirt and he had a great time esp with the birthday cake!!)

Marios 2nd Birthday

What great presents!! Thanks Mum and Dad for the trike. There were lots of other great presents too like a mini trampoline, a gardening set so I can help Dad in the yard, toys, a T ball set, books, DVDs, clothes and shoes. Just great for being 2!!What great food!! Yum yum sausages. Oh yes and there was cake and lollies and biscuits and fruit and dips and all the food little kids love. My plate has a racing car on it.
What great hats!! We made them ourselves. We had a car theme.
What a great birthday cake!! Thanks Mum for my car. We ate it all up. I loved the wagon wheel wheels. I ate them all!!
How much celebrating was done over the past few days!!

By the way, the most popular food with all the kids - marshmallows and little boys (cocktail franfurts) on skewers!! These were shown in photos taken at Marios 1st birthday and we thought we would give them a try and maybe make them a tradition. And yes... they will be on Marios party table again for many years to come!!

So family, friends, neighbours and everyone else who has been there to celebrate you helped to make Marios first birthday with us and his 2nd one overall just the best time ever!! Thank You for making this birthday so much fun for us all.
