three is the magic number

Taane turned 3 last thursday. We celebrated by tagging a party on to Babysteps, which was a great way to get all our friends to come!

It was a car party, so he had a car cake... Andy and I made this together... Taane's favourite colour is red, so we tried to make it using natural colourings, using raspberries and blackberries, but it never made it past barbie pink, so we added a little bit of food colouring to get it out of the barbie zone and more of a foufa from Yo gabba gabba colour.

This wooden cake was also popular with regular babysteppers Toby and Rafaella

Ruby made sure Benny had some cake

Other party snacks included a fruit platter, popcorn, chippies, hummus and crackers and pink drinks. We also did cocktail samosas and veggie spring rolls in the oven.

Thanks to all who bought presents, you shouldn't have, but thanks!

Plenty of fabulous books, some bits for the train set and an amazing vintage log cabin to construct, tickets to babypops (thanks Katie, awesome), a medical kit, and some tech decks which now go to bed with him every night.

It was wonderful seeing all our friends

and family, below participating in a carboard bus!

When we got hom that afternoon, there was a present from the Tamehanas which included these crazy balloons, too much fun!
