For nearly the whole month of June, the anticipation has been steadily growing, 'aided and abbetted' by the 'garbage truck tree'. A little Christmas tree in a former life, now decorated with miniature 'garbage bags' filled with chocolate treats, and labelled for each day to count down to the big birthday...

The big day arrived sunny and warm. The balloons tied to a garbage can, and the bunting decorated the yard...

Time for Birthday Cake!! THE 'one and only' garbage truck birthday cake! Wearing his special garbage truck T-shirt and newspaper party hat, Aidan delighted in the singing of 'Happy Birthday' as well as blowing out his candles...

After some water-play time, Aidan's guests each received a special garbage theme loot bag to take home, hopefully with happy memories of a fun party and a special birthday boy!

What to do for the next birthday party? I have a whole year to think about that (and hopefully, the little love of my life will find something other than garbage trucks to obsess about)!!!!
