James' 5th Birthday - "my best day ever!"

Today was James' 5th birthday and we were blessed with a glorious warm, sunny day for an afternoon party at our new home. James squealed with delight over his new Hawthorn AFL football from us, and was equally enthusiastic with a soccer goal from Granny and Papa. He was a very lucky boy indeed to receive so many presents from his family and friends. A lot of things are for outdoor use, so roll on summer!

James, and his cousins and friends, had a great time outside finding treats in the garden as well as polishing off bowls full of sweets. In the playroom the helium balloons kept everyone happy (and the bigger kids went straight for the helium!) James had earlier helped me decorate his iced cupcakes with happy faces and couldn't wait to blow his 5 candles out. We are glad to be able to once again share special occasions with our nearest and dearest! We missed our Windsor friends of course! Happy Birthday, 5 year old boy!
