not at all these days. so when it came to the cake it was a late night job with help from his big brother which i was actually very happy with. he loved staying up to put the cake together even though it was a very simple and rushed one the night before!
we spent the day together at home with family who popped by for tea and cake; it was lovely and sunny so he was happy waddling around the garden for most of the afternoon.
its easy to get caught up in planning a big day and perfect cakes for kids birthdays but sometimes simple really is better and much
