Her Mum and Dad stayed up half the night assembling a new little house and table, decorating the lounge room and baking 'insect' cupcakes ... and it was all worthwhile because after a leisurely lay in till almost 9O'clock! Bell arrived downstairs to a lovely birthday surprise!
Hey am I still asleep or has the dining room table shrunk and turned green?!
Yup, still dreaming but I definatly prefer the height of it now!
Oooh and balloons to play with!
Later in the day one or two little friends arrived to help share the birthday fun ... Bell at the head of the 'garden' party table with a very special hat!
The Birthday picnic feast!
Jirhet savours the moment!
Alex turned two today too (he's two hours older than Bell), he had his party a few days early which is lucky for us!
Noah and Hazel dig in.
Liam and Isaac discussing who gets the last sausage roll.
The Birthday Cake!! Courtesy of a very kind Veronica ... mm mmmm mmmmmmmm!
Being Bell's special day she gets first pick!
Mmm pink toadstools!
We just couldn't put a big enough dent in it! That chocolate, strawberry combination sure was delicious though, infact it still tasted delicious when we finally got through the last of the left overs a week later!
The party moves back inside, Bell discovers she can dismantle the streamers really well from Daddy's back!
Niamh looking all grown up since Bell's last B'day ...her twin Connor's somewhere about - probably helping put a bigger dent in the b'day cake!
Beth, Alex's Mum is preggers with bub number two too (that's a borrowed one she's holding!)! She's due two weeks before me just like she was with Alex ... so what are the chances our bubs arrive on the same day again?!
Paul helping out with the little uns and loving it!
Isobel's very impressed by Billy's prowess on the super slide!
Checking up to make sure he survived the stunt ok!
After Bell's big day she was pretty tired but there were still the presents to open ... and just as she thought she was making progress Lara popped in to deliver another one!
A great little hound all the way from Uncle Jason and Aunty Helen ... thanks guys, Bell loves taking him for 'walks'!
Mmmm what could this one from the Gramps be?!
Hey cool, just what I've always wanted a teeny, tiny, hard, pink, plastic dummy all of my own!
Now ... how do I detach it from this doll thing?!
