Son's 7th Birthday

Today is my Son's 7th birthday. We went out to 'The Milky Way' theme park yesterday, so today was spent at home with the family. He started his day opening cards and eating rice krispies, a special treat as we usually have whole wheat cereals such as weetabix or cornflakes for breakfast and only have fancy cereals on birthdays! For gifts he got a Bendos Scuba Diver collectable toy in addition to the vet set in a handy backpack and a smart gold and black Brave Heart soldier dressing up costume. Along with money to put in his savings account for 'when he's a big boy' and lots of chocolates!

Party lunch was pizza, sausages, crisps, popcorn, maltesers, mini rolls and a home baked birthday cake. My Son requested a fruit cake, we tend to make what the birthday person likes to eat best rather than have a traditional cake. We scattered sugar on top of the cake and decorated the tray around the cake with party poppers. Lots of bangs and colourful streamers quickly followed!

We watched a Disney dvd in the afternoon, 'Underdog', then my Son played in his soldier outfit with his two younger siblings who were also in fancy dress, as a pirate and a princess. For dinner we had chicken in white wine sauce with basmati rice, sweetcorn and peas. Followed by lion bar ice-creams for the birthday desert treat.
