Ben's 1st birthday party

After the dedication we had a BIG party for Ben's 1st birthday. Alexander was very excited about the party as we'd invited Buzz Lightyear (of Toy Story fame) to come and entertain the kids for a couple of hours which I must say was fantastic! He kept them hooked for the whole time, with games, face painting etc. We had a jumping castle too which was great. Ben was somewhat overwhelmed but had a fun day enjoying digging in the dirt (he didn't quite know what to make of Buzz)... but he did like the castle when no one else was on it! We did a BBQ lunch which, thanks to the invaluable help of Geema and Grampie was a sucess. It was really very special for Ben to have both sets of grandparents, and great-grandparents at the party - what a lucky little boy.
