Sean is nine today. His favourite present was from his brothers. An Arsenal football shirt with his name and age on the back...
He was delighted and enjoyed posing for his birthday photos.
He particularly wanted us to do a surprise party so we all had to hide and jump out shouting 'surprise' so we did! (I'm not really sure about there being much of a surprise in that!)
We did a party style tea for him...
...with a cream tea (Cornish style with jam before clotted cream on the scones)
... biscuits and mini cakes
... and a cake with trick candles that wouldn't blow out
... it was really funny and had Sean in stitches with laughter.
Until next time

| Happy Birthday Thomas |
When we have birthdays in our family we choose the nearest weekend and call that a birthday weekend so that the birthday person gets to choose a place to go and a place to eat out. So yesterday was a really busy day for the whole family. First Tom wanted to go shopping in Truro, then we went to St Austell to go bowling. We had a fun game which was more even than usual as Tom and John had to play without the sidebars (me and Sean need them or we don't score at all, and Kieran set the game up so he got them too!). We then split up, with John, Sean and me going geocaching while Tom and Kieran played pool, before we all met up again for a fantastic three course meal at Frankie and Benny's to celebrate Tom's 18th birthday. We ended up full and very relaxed...
Today we finally got to do a birthday cake with candles and champagne for Tom- three days late! It was however Tom's fifth birthday cake - how he managed that I'm not sure...
Until next time
