This year got off to an exciting start celebrating E’s second birthday. Having a winter baby limits what you can do by way of outdoor adventures so we opted for a soft play morning with his cousin Zac followed by a Chinese buffet lunch.
Then back to Nana and Grandads for play and cake. I used the same sponge recipe as last year but baked the cake in a bundt ring tin. The animals atop the cake were made by Daddy who’s used to creating things out of plasticine for making animations).
It was a great day and we’re loving this wonderful journey of life with our chattery, gentle, funny, gorgeous boy. To find out more about the Me and Mine monthly challenge if you want to join in for 2014 and for posts by other families taking partclick here

That’s a lovely family shot, and a belated happy birthday to your little E there, too x
All the better for being there at the time
Lovely and clearly those talents of your husbands come in useful sometimes
Aaahh à lovely way to start a year of photos
That video is too cute!!! Amazing cake too! Did you make it?
nice pic – love the team effort on the cake – we have lots of summer birthdays, including Sylvia’s – and the heat makes it hard to bake cakes and get outside too. I even organised a park picnic one year for sylvia and it rained. No wonder people like those indoor play centres!
What a lovely family portrait, looks like it was a really happy birthday and the cake is fab! x
Love the cake toppers! Well done Daddy! Lovely family photo! x
