On 23 December, 2008, we celebrated Toby's 2nd birthday.  Because Daddy was still in Afghanistan when Sebastian turned 3, we had a joint birthday party - complete with an extra large Bob the Builder birthday cake with "Happy Birthday Sebastian" on one side and "Happy Birthday Tobias" on the other.  We had a few friends over for an evening party of chicken nuggets and fries, then cake and ice cream.  It was a very nice party, the boys were happy to have Daddy there for the party.  Definitely worth waiting for, even for a  3-year old!
