Happy 1st Birthday Al!

Party season is in full swing as the Milton babies hit their first birthdays. Parties galore starting with Joanna's ... sadly only the birthday girl's head can be seen in this photo which is a big shame as she had a gorgeous party dress! I'll have to ask her mum for a photo of the party that includes Joanna ...

*edit* Here's a photo of Joanna showing off her lovely party dress since you can't see it on her party pic.

Then came Al's birthday party / thanksgiving at Milton Country Park. There was space for the grown ups and a bay for the babies. They were kept safe behind bars as you can see from Al's photo. Daddy spoke about how Al is a real gift from God to us, and we sang an old hymn (How Great Thou Art) and Ian (our church pastor) and Sue (our friend who runs our local baby group) prayed for Al. Everyone had a lot of fun, especially Al who got very excited when we sang Happy Birthday to him.

The next two parties were to celebrate Thomas and Johnny. All these parties within 2 weeks and we still have the twins' birthdays to celebrate soon!

Al and his pals have had lots of fun, to say nothing of the lovely presents. Here's Al sitting in our fireplace rummaging through some of his fab new toys, and then a photo of him that we took for his Thank You cards.
