The plan had been to have a picnic at the Gardens of Surprises at Burghley, but as usual the weather forecast wasn't playing ball. Rebecca was lucky to be able to get the Girl Guide's Hall at short notice and only being 2 streets away, worked out fine. Typically, the weather stayed fine but was very windy and with so many small babies in the mix would have been difficult plus the older children would have been very cold in the water. We still went with the picnic theme but indoors
Friday Rebecca had to go into work for the morning , so I had Laurie whilst Rufus was with his Nana. To say Laurie wasn't too happy might be an understatement.

Friday afternoon Rebecca's kitchen became cake central

Happy Birthday to Rufus! Three is such a wonderful age. I loved that stage with my kids. And I must say that is the cutest cake I have ever seen!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Rufus. The party looks lke it was a great time. And the cake looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Rufus! Looks like a lovely party. The cake is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty cake! Were the kids able to eat the fondant? I hated it when I was little, I wanted the sweet cake, not the bitter frosting. Definitely looks like a successful party, although the adults involved must be exhausted!
