A very big Happy Birthday wish to Brandon who today celebrated his 1st birthday.
Having just gone through Christmas and struggling to find room for all the new toys, we decided not too go over the top for Brandon. Well as you can see from below that soon went out of the window.
The all important first birthday cake.
And a special 1st birthday bib for the little dude to wear at his birthday meal.
So how do you celebrate your 1st birthday - well to start with you wake up with a big cheesy grin.
Then you crash out on Mum and Dad's bed with a pint of milk. Note the new top which Daddy bought Brandon which says "I am 1".
Then with the nappy cleaned and the stomach full - its time for some presents.
Joshua's reaction when he saw the pile of presents was classic. He switched straight into Xmas mode and said "Wow presents". Initially he tried to open one himself but we explained that they are Brandon's and with that Joshua handed Brandon his first birthday present. Joshua then sat there and helped Brandon open the presents - Brandon getting the wrapping paper, Joshua getting the toys!
Brandon's main present was this V-tech sit on / push along train with trailer and as you can see it just about seats both the boys (which is handy given how jealous Joshua can be!).
Joshua thoughtfully bought his little bro a load of new phat wheels cars as he knows how much Brandon enjoys playing with his garage and cars (or is this a cunning ploy to try and stop Brandon from playing with Joshua's cars by buying him his own ones!).
Back to the train and Joshua shows Brandon how everything works on it.
But who needs Joshua - the little dude soon had this one all figured out and was darting across the living room.
After a hard day at nursery it was out for dinner as a family. Unfortunately Moza was shut so we ended up in Frankie & Benny's where the two boys ate the restaurant out of garlic bread. Boy did them two make a mess with food and drink going everywhere - that poor waiter certainly earnt his money tonight.

After the meal it was back home to finish off opening the presents. Then another bottle of milk, wash, teeth and bed to charge up the batteries ready for a load more presents tomorrow.
Brandon likes his toy animals so we got him this really cool Noah's Ark which makes all the animal noises etc.
Tune in tomorrow for part II of Brandon's birthday update.
