Diego's birthday

On the 24th of March Diego had his second birthday and since it was Easter Monday we decided we would spend the day as a family and have a party with some friends later. The original idea was to take him to Linton Zoo but after Sunday's snowfall we thought it would be better to change plans...

It turned out to be a good idea: on Monday I made a cake and then we just relaxed while Diego enjoyed opening and playing with his presents at his own pace (veeeeery slowly!). Nicola and Martin and Carlo also popped in to say hello and have a slice of cake and we had lots of phonecalls from friends and family (you can see Diego talking to one of them in the pictures below).

We also went out for a short walk in the park and Diego loved stomping on what remained of other children's snowmen!

Today we had a party with some of the other MBA families in Links House's garden house which was kindly offered to us by the wardens so the kids would have more room to mess around in. It was good fun and Diego had lots of lovely presents.

Thanks to all of you far and near for contributing to our bundle of happy memories!
