My son's 1st birthday party

As you may already know my son turned 1 year old last week. I know, where does the time fly! We had a small party for him at our place last Sunday for close family and friends.
Luca doesn't like crowds and can only handle the excitement for short periods of time, so I decided to have it over afternoon tea, and serve finger foods and sweets. I made most of the food except for a couple of things which my mum made and brought over.

Here are some of the things I made.

The theme of the party was Pocoyo as that's his favourite cartoon. Pocoyo is no longer shown on TV here in Australia but we watch it on YouTube... and yes, it's my favourite cartoon too! I had to order the decorations online from the US as I couldn't find Pocoyo themed anything here.

As for the cake, I'm very happy with the end result. I had it made at Cake Mania in Parramatta and I think they did a wonderful job of creating Pocoyo characters to sit atop the chocolate mud cake. Yummm... It cost $120 which seems a lot, but another lady had previously quoted me a price starting at $200 so I guess what I paid wasn't too bad. Overall I think everyone had a great time. Luca enjoyed himself and loved hanging out with the other kids.... Opening presents was especially fun.... Until it started getting a bit too much.... But then he had his bottle... And all was right with the world again... Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our world :-)
