Connor’s “real birthday”
That was on Thursday 16th, and of course I had to make another cake … to have when we all got home from the rained-out cricket match
Voila … cake made and iced … ready !! Note to self : don’t ever used double yoked eggs (two plopped into the cake mixture, which meant I had 5 egg yolks and 3 whites!) Prevented cake from rising. Turned out like a brownie .. rather yummy … but not my usual ‘granny-speciality-choccie-birthday-cake!) 2nd note to self : try doing it again with 5 yolks/3 whites and add broken cookies/choc chips/nuts or all – could be nice! Anyway … there’s the result below …
Wrap prezzie … (skateboard – not for the road – for the garden ONLY! )
Cricket over … opening prezzie time … he looks a little confused ‘reading’ the card ! Not so confusing as it looks, as I drew pictures on the one side and he was ‘working them out’ !
Papa cutting the strapping around the wheels …
“I love my new skateboard .. ”
“Testing my new kicking board for the swimming pool from ‘Lainey and Bryan ..”
Cutting his own piece of cake …
Big hug for mommy ..
Happy 5th Birthday Connor – can hardly believe you’re five years old already !!!!!!! We love you lots .. and lots xxx mwah xxx
