I am having a catch-up year with my scrapbooking and it seems this little one has been a bit of a focus over the past two months; our fourth grandson on his 1st birthday.
His Mum and Dad invited only close family and anyone who had made time to spend time with this little one in his first 12 months of life; the result was a picnic in the park for 80 people! Luckily the park is a short walk from their home and had ample room to accommodate everyone without inconveniencing the neighbours! His favourite TV character at the time was Hoot the Owl and his Mum had gone to a great deal of trouble to create the beautiful cake. He received so many books, toys and clothes as gifts but his parents are very wise and put many away to bring out over the following year; they are also a part of a Mother's group so the toys are shared among a few families so everyone gets enjoyment and use from them.
Thank you for looking and any comments you may leave, best wishes.
Oh gorgeous layout and they sound like such wonderful, thoughtful parents.
