Unwrapping presents

Just before our going to bed on the evening before Flynn's first birthday, we piled his presents high on the lounge floor and topped it with a large helium balloon weighed down at the base.

The next morning they were still there and Flynn squealed with delight as he explored the pile.

Ella was so excited with all the presents that she took the lead in tearing the paper and opening them up while Flynn sat by curiously. Here she's tackling the biggest present of all -  Flynn's first wheels other than his planes!

And here she's unwrapped some stickers and a box of Leggo, which was so attractive that Ella immediately ripped open the box and started to build her dream home ... out of Grand  Designs!

Occasionally, a present did not appeal to Ella because it was too young for her, like this play cube with things to do on each face.

The piece de resistance, however, was that trike. It took me perhaps 45 minutes to assemble this fancy device and here is the fynnished product, please excuse the pun.

And Flynn readily took occupation of it. We guided him to a local park after lunch with broad smiles all over his face. He really enjoyed it! And guess who gave this present. I came from Dot and me and Bec and her family. Well done!
