Is everyone sorted?
For our gorgeous babies' first birthdays??!
It hit home today when we were talking about the infant Xmas play at school which is the day after Gracie's birthday...I just thought 'omg, she's one three weeks tomorrow!'
I've got her most of her presents and a party outfit etc but really nneed to get her party invitations out! We've made the boys their 1st birthday invites on the computer with a pic etc so tradition reigns and as hubby said yesterday, this'll be the last one we'll do
How's everyone else getting on planning a first birthday and Xmas!? I'm so excited about it all! Just a big kid really!

Lisa - hope things get better at work x
I was looking for a nice outfit for him when we were in the UK, partly for his birthday but also because we are going to our nephews christening while we are back. There are so many lovely party dresses and hardly anything for boys! x
On Sat we are going out for lunch with my mum and dad, mil and fil, sil and fiance and sil and boyfriend, to a restaurant that does Baby meals (check them out Gusto restaurants - yummy italian chain!)
Then that night by bro and sil are coming to take me and hubby out to dinner (they can't make lunch as bro flies in that morning) get rid of inlaws and my family are staying over night.
Then sunday pm have all Max's friends coming for birthday tea!
Pressies bought but nothing over board - just a garage and some cars, a ball and a puzzle.
my mum brought him an outfit for xmas day from next - gorge tweed type trousers and lovely blue thin jumper, then a trendy orange hoodie but cute for bday!
liz - you said you were looking for outfit - its soooo hard for boys but next do a nice range and you can order on-line also i got fin pinstriped trousers and waistcoat sooooo cute for a wedding and he's worn that twice!bren would look yummy in something like that!
pressies - more or less sorted but cant stop buying - last week spoted this wicked board book postman pat that has a wind up van and then one side of book opens up into 3 tracks that the van drive round on....also a selection of in the night garden books and a push and go noisy digger!anyway he's got plenty now with bricks, mobile, ball thing the list can go on so just going to split them beween bday and xmas!
need to get the rest of the family some pressies as its all fin at mo!

As Elijahs bday on 21st dec, we are taking him to a farm/ballpool/park thing (lol), just me and hubby on the 20th. Then on his actualy bday we are having a family party for him with just a few baby friends, but mostly relatives x
I did mention to my hubby it would be a shame to miss going to the toddler group as they sing happy birthday to whoevers birthday it is and he just thought i was sad! he also pointed out that he never gets to go and he misses out everyweek but if he's ever been off and i've asked him to take them he's declined!!
aswell as his trike i've got noah a lot of second hand stuff as there was a sale near us recently with loads of good stuff. also books!!
I have 2 friends and their boys were born on the same day as noah so it would be nice to have a little get-together but we're having trouble getting a time we can all do it!
Main kiddies party Bren is going to have is when we all meet up on the 29th which I am really looking forward to! x
Amy - I'm getting a rich fruit cake for the christening and a small 'normal' birthday cake from Tesco. I haven't gone overboard on the other 2 so I can't really with Bryn! x
