Birthday princess

A family gathering in aid of my little cousin Mika's upcoming fourth birthday. I was lucky to capture this rare shot of my Uncle Jeff too! He has never been a fan of the camera! I'm disappointed that I didn't know it was a dress up party! I would have been all over that! Unfortunately my dressing up kit was at home, five hours away!
It seems my little cousin Jaxson has inherited a similar taste for dressing up and face paint (additional).
Due to the sheer size of our family, we made up two thirds of the guest list. This also included the most recent addition of little Leo. He is adorable and was the centre of much attention (additional)
The mother, her sister and daughter were all taking turns to 'cwtch' him.
I had a little snuggle with him and he soon fell asleep (additional)- I'd like to think it was because I have a calming touch and not because I'm boring company!
A lovely family day.
