Party Animal!

Arlo had a house full of guests this past Saturday for his first ever birthday party. 25 people came and enjoyed lunch and delicious cupcakes. The plan was for a picnic at the Governor General's, but rain kept us inside. That was fine for Arlo, it meant he could let loose on his cupcake knowing that a bathtub was close at hand...

Daisy drew on her years of toy playing experience to help her younger buddy Arlo figure out how some of his new gifts worked.

"...now push down on the handle Arlo...that's it!"

Sally and Lucy show how to drive his new wheels.

What a cute couple! Sally didn't leave his side for the whole party!

Everyone swarms the gift opening...Arlo had a lot of help with the wrapping.

Owen and Thomas are dying for Arlo to play some ball with them. Hayden wanted him to play with his toy soldiers, but Arlo was mainly waiting for the girls to show up and make it a real party!

Arlo couldn't get enough of Sally, he kept touching her face all through dinner and chattering on to her.

Hayden knows where his priorities lie. Forget the girls, there are cupcakes to be had!

That's how you eat a cupcake Daisy. Watch Linden dig into it.

Yikes, the candle thing again!

Why is everyone staring at me?

I could get used to all this attention....

Don't leave any for the adults!
