Nick turns 7!

Exactly 2 months ago today our Nicholas turned 7.  Time just seems to fly by.  This year his birthday fell on a Saturday so we had a lovely time spoiling him all weekend.  We started the day off with a pancake breakfast, of course, followed by opening cards and presents from near and far.  Thanks to everyone who helped make our boy feel special!

We had some special entertainment lined up for the afternoon - a box at the Royal Albert Hall for Classic Spectacular - a real treat for classical music lovers.  You should have seen Nick's face when the conductor wished him happy birthday in front of 8 000 people!

On Sunday we watched Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 at the cinema.  The boys absolutely enjoyed it and it really got their creative juices flowing.  They came up with so many great 'foodimals' of their own.  I couldn't resist a bit of a South African birthday treat as well so we went for 'eat as much as you like' rib special at the Spur afterwards.  It came along with a serious birthday hullabaloo by the staff!



Another part of Nicholas' birthday celebrations (the following weekend) was an outing to Twickenham to watch Barbarians v Fiji. He invited one of his friends, Maxime, to join him. They both had a fantastic time at their first live rugby match!
