The video of Jamie’s birthday cake being carried out for him to “blow out” the candles (in truth, he’s not much of a blower as yet) can be accessed by clicking on to the play button above. But enjoy the sight of the beautiful cake while it lasts because, a few seconds after the filming stopped, Jamie reached out and slapped the tray out of his mummy’s hands and on to the ground - leaving this as the result.
Still, most of it remained edible and Jamie even had some too...
...before returning to centre stage.
Everyone else seemed to have fun. (OK, almost everyone else).
Godmother Vicky was one person Jamie was particularly delighted to see.
Auntie Fran hasn’t had an audience with him for a while but he was very pleased with his present from her and Uncle Matt, who arrived a little bit later.
Another notable guest was Uncle Malcolm - also known as increasingly renowned blogger billatbingley. (He has already captured the mood of the event on his own site and I would encourage you to have a look by clicking on to: http://billatbingley.blogspot.com/2009/06/bit-more-about-teeth-and-very-special.html).
You can see him below taking a picture of me taking a picture of him (if you follow).
As the youngest and oldest members of the gathering began to scatter, I treated some of our remaining friends to a demonstration of Elmo Live (not in any way confirming that the present was really for me, absolutely not, nope).
Finally, everyone departed into the darkening night and thoughts began to turn to Jamie’s second year - although Kirsty could be forgiven for keeping her focus on her own planned arrival next month.
Good luck to her and husband Tom with that.
And thanks to everyone for being so kind to our little boy on his big day.
