“I honestly love you all to the moon and stars and back again.”

Stacey also shared on her Instagram Stories that she couldn’t stop crying as the day came to an end.

Stacey’s birthday preparations

Stacey shared her preparations in the run up to the day.

She had baked a cake, which didn’t turn out as she had hoped, and the party had a foliage theme.

The mum-of-three started the day by sharing a video of her and Rex beaming at the camera. It’s captioned: “Good morning birthday pickle.”

She then shared footage of the little one opening his first birthday presents and in another video, Rex could be seen enjoying one of his new toys – which involves hammering red balls into a wooden hole.

Plenty of presents

Stacey wrote that it took him two hours to open his presents as “he’s loving playing with each one”.

The family had Mickey Mouse-shaped sandwiches, biscuits with Rex’s name on them and chocolate dipped strawberries.

Stacey, who is a prolific crafter on Instagram, also assembled a balloon arch from green, gold and white balloons and built a home-made donut wall for the day.

It comes after a difficult week for the family after Joe Swash shared the sad news that his Nanny Fran had died, writing: “I miss you so much already.”
