We must have had a bit of a moment, because before we knew what was happening we seemed to have been persuaded by said 3 year old to host a Birthday party for him and his nursery buddies. We ended up with 7 children, all around the age of 3 and 14 adults!
It was actually great fun and everyone had a good time, with party food prepared by Kate while I kept Max busy at the park.
Here are a selection of photos from the party. I will upload some video tomorrow.
The Jolly Max. I had seen a Pirate Ship birthday cake on the web and thought that I would try to do something similar. It worked out well in the end!
Jack Sparrow and 2 Pirate candles added to the finished cake.
The canons are chocolate covered liquorish and the canon balls are maltesers.
I even made some sea!
The party in full swing. Lots of parents and kids turned up with Pirate attire!
They all made Pirate hats.
The Mums did lots of chatting!
Lucy - Sean's sister joining in with the hat making.
Caitlin had a great time making and colouring in.
More chatting...
Even more chatting...
Sean, Lucy and Mum. Sean goes to nursery with Max.
Max's best friend Devante. Not looking too sure about something? I think he is waiting for the food!
Max and Devante getting stuck in to some low loaders and various other vehicles.
Max even found time to open all of the presents that arrived. He is a very lucky boy!
Getting there...slowly!
Devante with another vehicle.
And the chatting continues!
Devante has spotted something that he likes.
Max and Caitlin playing very nicely together.
Max has just opened the 'poppers' from Grace. They are very funny and Dad thinks that they should be in his office!
Oakley dog loved it - so much attention and opportunities for mine sweeping after the party food.
The party in full swing. Must be time for cake...
It did look too good to eat, but we carved in to it all the same. Lukas was obviously very keen to get his slice.
Max couldn't wait.
Cheeky Pirate Max.
Thankfully the cake tasted OK too.

Mast removal...
Happy Pirate Max.
It's all over and everyone has gone home and Max has just noticed Kate's pirate earrings!
Max & Mummy.
Thank you for my party Mummy.
We left the opening of family presents until the actual day; Sunday 11th April.
Max got a big shiny red fire engine from Mum and Dad...
...complete with fire fighters.
4 months on from Christmas and Max has perfected his wrapping ripping technique.
More and more parcels came out of the box.
A very good present haul including many vehicles, some lovely clothes, books and plenty of other toys which should mean that we can recycle some of them!?
I have lots of video to upload which I am working on now, so look back soon...
Max says thank you to everyone for his lovely presents.
