mr 1 ★ the party

The family came over for Barney's little party. Nice and simple: a mixed CD with Barney's favourite songs*, a game of pass the parcel, and the birthday cake with the candle in the shape of a dinosaur. It was a winning formula for excited little Barney, surrounded by so many people who made him happy, and his favourite songs to get overwhelmed by! He never stopped smiling.

Barney's dance moves made us all laugh. A mixture of the 'Barney shoulder turn' move, walking close to the TV, bouncing up and down, waving his arms, and running up to someone. Here's some of his moves in action:

The cake and happy birthday song were quite eventful.

Other nice aspects of the afternoon were...
Uncle Dan blowing a party blower into Barney's face, and the gentle momentum nearly knocking him over.
Oscar's face when he won the pass the parcel prize.
Barney running up to Jenny to give her a hug, with his arms wide and a big smile... and then tailing away and leaving her hanging.
Spare icing from the cake ending up on my plate!
Barney enjoying the birthday cake, all over his face and up his sleeves.


It was a really lovely time. I can't believe he's 1! Happy Birthday Barney :)
