Aidan's Birthday

Aidan celebrated his birthday at his Grandma's house, and we all certainly had a great time :)  Jon couldn't go cos he had just gone for his knee op recently, and was still resting at home.

I think Aidan knew it was his special day because he was brimming with laughter and smiles the whole time.  He especially enjoyed singing his birthday song, clapping continuously throughout the song each of the three times we sang it (yes, he loved it that much!) :)  It was adorable watching him, and he really looked sooo happy :)

 With one side of the family...

 ....and the other!

Another family shot for the road!










After the very lively cake cutting, we had an even livelier time over in the living room.  Aidan can dance!  Sharon put on some pop music and Aidan starting jiving away to the beat!  We all couldn't resist bobbing and jiggying along with him - especially his Daddy :)  I don't know which was more amusing, Terr or Aidan :)  But I thought it was such a wonderful moment for them to share - dancing together on his first birthday!  How lovely!  I think Sharon got it all on video :)

Asher was just being Asher, walking about, hitting things with other things...I was a bit concerned he might crack the glass cos he kept banging on it with the drumsticks!

I was actually really surprised that Asher was as lively as he was.  It was way past his bedtime, but there were so many things to see - the beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas decor, the toys, the glass, the toys, the glass, the toys, the glass. 

As an observation, the two boys seem to have developed an affection for one another.  They seem comfortable in each other's company, smile when they see each other, and well, I don't know how to describe it,  I think they just know each other better.  I was reminded of one of the first times Asher met Aidan. It was in the first week of Aidan's birth and we went to visit Sharon at her Mum's place.  When put in the same cot Asher started fussing.  But things are so different now! :) 

Anyway, I headed home about 10plus, and 2 minutes into the car ride home, Asher was sound asleep ;)
