Birthday Party Fun

We decided to just have a very small party for Dougie this year. We considered trying to throw a bigger shindig but we thought for his first year a party with just us would be nice. So, that's what we did. I didn't want him to miss out on anything though, so we made the party we did have a big deal.

We decorated the playroom




We even had party hats


Then Dougie started into his presents


Through whatever means necessary


This one was Daddy's favourite (thanks Auntie Suz!!)


Dougie eventually learned how to rip the paper


Dougie loved his wooden bench


And then proceeded to try to open all the other presents with his mallet


Mum helped open some too




Then it was time for cake


(it's supposed to be a hippo)


We all had a great time. Dougie seemed to understand that it was a special day, even if he didn't understand why.
