Happy 2nd Birthday Son

No sooner is Xmas out of the way and suddenly here we are at the end of January and its Brandon's 2nd birthday. Not quite sure who was more excited about today out of me, Brandon and Joshua. Needless to say I have had hours of fun playing with all Brandon's new toys and presents. Thanks to everyone who brought him presents came over to see the little guy on his special day. He seemed to really enjoy his day and has gone to bed completely shattered.

As you can see from below his pile of presents was very impressive.

And he needed little guidance in tearing into the wrapping paper.

When the little guy did get a little stuck there was always an older brother never far away to provide a helping hand.

And even to test out some of Brandon's new dress-up costumes.

Judging by this expression I would say Brandon was pretty pleased with his box of match box cars.

But so far the star present appears to be this dumper truck which both boys absolute love.

Brandon posing in his Woody cowboy hat and his bob the builder construction jacket.

And then the adapted version with hard hat and pink hand bag.

The bargain of the birthday was this impressive construction site from ELC which cost a mere £12. Both boys will get hours of playtime out of this one.

And everyone knows just how much Brandon likes his cars. So one of his main presents was a new, bigger, better garage to play with his cars.

Joshua again playing with some of the dress-up costumes. This is a mixture of a Tomas Tank Engine hat and the Bob The Builder jacket. Joshua also sang Brandon a lovely version of Happy Birthday (completely unprompted) using the microphone on his piano which was nice. Fortunately it was one of those moment where the video camera was readily available as well.

And finally what birthday is complete without a cake. For Brandon it was a Handy Manny cake this year.
