We had a little birthday party for Andres today – we invited a few friends and family around to help us celebrate his first birthday.

After a cool start to the day, it turned out to be a glorious afternoon and we had afternoon tea out on the back lawn.

Leanne out-did herself with creating decorations for the back yard (with a lot of help from her sister, Bron). But the best part was the cakes Leanne made – one was a plain cake iced in the shape of the map of Colombia, and the other was a pair of chocolate cake logs placed together and iced to look like the Colombian flag.

Andres looks a little bewildered by all these people singing to him
