So, with Thomas being 2 and us having lots of family and friends, we decided to have 2 parties on the same day... 3-5 for toddler friends... 6-8 for family and friends...We had prepared lots of lovely toddler friendly food including Bagel snakes, egg toad stalls, cheesy feet and a few tasty treats that make it a party (including party rings and cheese balls!)
Thomas got his wish to eat cake (and not being used to cake, the sugar rush that followed afterwards!)
All the toddlers made hats with Lovely Louise, ate lots of food, smeared even more into the carpets and played happily in the garden in the Play house, sandpit and on the ride on toys... Thomas loved celebrating with his mates, couldn't quite take in that everyone was here together and when we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to him, he smiled as we all sang his name, then said 'No'. There were absolutely no tears/tantrums until it was hometime when the over excited little ones, just didn't want to leave! (and we fall onto the sofa for 10 mins happy that it was such a success!)But, no rest for the hosts as a few of us tidied up, hoovered the crumbs, and got ready for party number 2.... where an excited Thomas was insistent on wearing his new PJ's from Brenda! We didn't take many pictures at this party, but celebrated with close friends and family who all enjoyed Chilli, Jacket potatoes and Birthday cake...
Thomas was literally asleep on his feet as we put him to bed at 9.30... and he collapsed into bed after a fantastic day knowing full well what a birthday entails ... he had happy dreams until gone 9 the following day and Fink and I were wide awake at 7 and actually went in to check him a few times as he has NEVER slept till 9! (and Sunday morning was present time as there were even more to unwrap!)
Thanks everyone for all your help, presents and making it such a special day ;o)

It feels like a blur - Harry spent pretty much the whole time outside and when he was inside he trod on a peanut butter sandwich - oops! I hope we are classed as close friends too even though we were at the toddler party ;) Was lovely to celebrate the day though I can't believe it's a second birthday already!!
Did he really stand on a sandwich? That's so funny! We love you guys .. and I'm already thinking turning two = two parties, does turning three turn into three parties? ... Good job I have a year to ponder!!!!
I think 2 is enough, don't you?! :)
Well this is really a funky kind of beds. i really love it. Thomas the Tank Engine Beds
