And then the birthday party

So, the day after Jacob's birthday we held his birthday party at Blackbutt Reserve.  The reserve is great as it has a fab playground, native animals to look at, ducks to feed bread to, emus to taunt with little fingers and a big grassy area for toddlers to run around too.

We had a birthday bbq breakfast, that Dave kindly cooked for us, some other little goodies and a variety of friends we have made whilst being in Newcastle.  

Jacob was again very lucky and got even more presents and cards and again, he enjoyed opening them all up.  Out of one parcel was an electric guitar and out of another one was a little drum kit.  The drum kit had to wait until the afternoon to be put together but the guitar was an instant hit and he wouldn't put it down for ages.

Jacob also got a water bottle with his name on, very useful, cars, puzzles, books, a skittle set and some more clothes.

I had to go before we had chance to cut the cake and sing happy birthday but had been in quite a bit of pain with a bad shoulder and neck.  So a huge thank you to Kerry for the great cake shots.

Dave, Jacob and I would also like to say a huge thank you to all our friends for Jacob's lovely presents and for making his party extra special for being there.  We are very lucky to have met you all and to have you as our friends.
