On Friday, Oct 29, we converged on the Horner household to prepare and celebrate Grace and Eli's first birthday with our family in Cape Town. The day started early with us fetching candyfloss, the cake and Ouma and then headed off to Pinelands.
Lee met us there with a car full of helium balloons, Cameron was studying but still put in a good show and Tarryn joined us shortly after her exam finished. Mike, Ian and Uncle Drew all eventually joined the team too and within a few hours we had the house ready for guests. Grace & Eli were so good and loved playing with the 'new' people and had a little snooze just before their party guests arrived.
The fun started at about 16h00 and, although busy, we all had a turbo time and felt so blessed to have all our Cape Town family together to share in the beautiful occasion with us. El had planned several games and there was more than enough food and sweets to keep everyone busy and happy!
All the food was marked according to the Hundred Acre theme, so we had Kanga's Fruit Kebabs, Tigger's Treats, Christopher Robin's Carrot Cake, Rabbit's (salad) garden, Hephalump Hunger Busters, Hundred Acre Honeycomb, Eeyore's Rainclouds (candyfloss) Roo's Raisin Muffins & Piglet's in a Blanket (boerie rolls). We played group pictionary, which was a real hit - it's amazing how competitive some people get... pin the tail on Eeyore and the kids all went on a little treasure hunt. All in all it was amazing and filled with great memories!
Thank you to everyone for all their love and support!
