The Dr Who Party

To celebrate Louie turning four, Pappy and I arranged a surprise Dr Who party for him, his new favourite 'thing'. I spent most of the weekend in the kitchen making all the party food from scratch. Homemade sausage rolls, couronne, quiche, wraps, sandwiches, crispy cakes, chocolate orange trifle, tardis and weeping angel biscuits and lots, lots more. Auntie Teresa made his cake, a big blue Tardis, of course!
Louie was thrilled to have all of his family around him on his special day. All of the kiddies played so nicely all of the day.

Twinlakes

We all took the day off for Mr Bee's birthday so that we could do something fun, we visited Twinlakes, a theme park designed for littles which isn't so far from us. We hadn't been before and we kept it a complete surprise from the bee. What a fantastic day we had!
Louie was absolutely in his element, all day. The rides were just perfect, and even though the weather held out all day, the inside attractions were so much fun. The indoor soft play kept us ALL entertained for hours.
The dungeon, a maze which is completely pitch black was utterly hilarious. Louie was so brave the whole way through, I think I screamed more than anyone (no surprise there then...).

We finished our day with a meal at one of our favourite places, the 50s Diner in an airstream trailer in Swadlincote.

A fantastic day for a fantastic four year old!

Louie turns FOUR!

 Yesterday our beautiful boy turned four! Where has the time gone! He had a wonderful morning opening his gifts, so many gifts! His favourite must have been the Michaelangelo turtle Pappy gave to him, other highlights include a huge electronic crane from Grandad and lots of cooking/baking goodies and books from his Mama. Not to forget the Guitar that Nana gave to him!

A Woodland Birthday Party

 

 

Today we celebrated Mr Bee turning three. Surrounded by family and friends, old and new, we ate yummy homemade food, talked A LOT, played with new toys and had an awful lot of fun!

A big, huge thank you to all that came, we had a fantastic time and Louie is still too excited to go to bed ;)

Three!

 Today my darling boy turned three. Three whole years since we welcomed our little bundle into the big wide world. He celebrated with his friends at playschool this morning before Mama took the afternoon off work to come and do some serious celebrating. Presents waited until after lunch and each one was opened with such anticipation.

 Big favourites were his Mr Bean DVDs (what can I say, the kid has a great sense of humour!) and also his big boy watch. Pappy waited until we were all finished and unveiled the big surprise, a Thomas Hornby train set which he has been itching to buy since Louie was a little bee!

 We had an afternoon at the bowling alley and Mr Bee got his fair share of strikes and half strikes, before getting a little sleepy and hungry. So we headed off to our favourite restaurant (chosen by the birthday boy) for the traditional birthday pizza.

 

  

And if that didn't tire him out enough, we came home to play with just about every new toy in turn.

What a busy day that was so much fun. Louie is so grateful for all of his gifts but he can not wait for his birthday party on Sunday! Thank you for all of the lovely well wishes from everyone :)

Roll on the weekend, spent with family and friends with LOTS of fun things on the agenda!
