Dear Cooper and Finn,
We had a little party for your first birthday today. Unfortunately most of your little friends were ill and couldn't come, but it was lovely nonetheless. I spent a very long time icing a cake that looked distinctly amateur (shout out to the disgruntled fondant duck) and making a balloon rainbow from a kit that was fundamentally flawed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You wore personalised coordinating loungewear, I wore a sparkly leopard print jumper, your dad wore a polo shirt, as always. We all ate egg mayo sandwiches, cheesy puffs, and Rice Krispie cakes. And at the end of a lovely day, you drank your milk on the living room floor while me and my friends drank prosecco and took selfies with you. XXX
