Happy Birthday Harry!

This weekend Harry turned three! And we celebrated all weekend. 

Harry in his favourite t-shirt which we turned in to the inspiration for his birthday tea decorations, more on that later.

We started his day at home with present opening and Harry's favourite pancakes with extra maple syrup.
All Harry has been asking for over the last few weeks is a bike with pedals, well he has actually just been asking for pedals as I think he thought that we just add pedals to his little balance bike. So you could imagine his excitment when he came downstairs to find a brand new blue 'big boys' bike. We even let him ride it a little bit in the house before breakfast.

After breafast we packed up all his new toys and his bike into the car and drove over to my parents house. Here he was greeted with two very excited Grandparents, three Uncles, Auntie Rachael, an equally excited Eddie dog and more presents. We spent most of the morning outside teaching Harry to ride his bike - all very funny as he seems to be able to get about quite fast by just bringing his right leg up and down and not making a full circle with the pedals, I am sure it will come together  in time.

We decorated the dining room using Harry's favourite yellow car t-shirt as inspration, lots of yellow and white balloons, with each place setting having a matchbox yellow or silver car on thier napkin and of course a tradional victoria sandwich cake (made by Mum) decorated with white and yellow icing. Harry was very happy with the setting and even happier with the food, which was lasagna, salad and olive bread followed by cake and ice-cream.

At the end of the day when was going to bed he asked if he could keep his car t-shirt on to sleep in!

The next day we spent the day together just the four of us and at a much calmer pace. We woke up to a beautiful, sunny autumn morning so we took the boys to Winkworth Arboretum, which is absolutely beautiful this time of year. The morning was spent walking about, feeding the ducks, collecting sticks and leaves with a stop off for tea and cake.

 The boys where both really tired so after afternoon naps we went to Pizza Express for pizza's and yummy chocolate cake, which finished off a wonderful weekend perfectly.

Happy Birthday my gorgeous Harry, we love you!!
