Birthday Boy

I've got to make this quick! We've got friends staying and it's terribly rude disappearing to write a blog post, but I couldn't let the day go by without a special mention to our little Herb who turned 3 today!
Here he is sitting on one of his presents - a Gruffalo trunki. This photo would have been lovely if his uncle Dave wasn't trying to ply him with beer!

He requested a dinosaur cake - I'm always up for a challenge! I was quite pleased with my efforts (I like getting creative with chocolate fudge icing!) until his big brother piped up with, 'I thought it was going to be standing up!' at which point I nearly forced his head into aforementioned cake with some vigour!

He seemed to enjoy it anyway!
Time for a walk to burn off some of those calories!




Such a beautiful day, feels like summer all of a sudden!

Back home at last, surely you've had enough chocolate for one day?! But cousin Molly is tucking into buttons from her Easter egg....
'Go on, just one!'
'Only if you give us a kiss!'...

Happy Birthday Herbie! Hope you had a fab day!

  1. Mr P examined the cake carefully. At first he thought it was ankylosaurus. Then he settled for sitty down steg. Either way I could wolf the lot right now, it looks delicious. It also looks as though your boy had a very wonderful day. Happy Birthday little Herb.
