Last week was James' birthday where he turned 5! There are still moments where I am still a little shocked that he has changed that much but before me is a lovely little boy.
With this is mind I wanted to make his birthday special and decided that we would do a few different things.
*Warning; a photo heavy post!*
We had a lovely relaxed day for his actual birthday where we started the day off opening presents, playing with them and then relaxing in the afternoon watching a film of his choice.
James was extra pleased with himself that we could change our today chart to his birthday date! When I say that he was pleased that is a total understatement!
He then spent most of the day dressed as Danger Mouse!
On Sunday we had a BBQ with friends from church. We don't have a very large or even reliable family so thought that we would fill the flat with friends that care about him; something that James was thrilled about! Food, friends and fun, what more could a boy want?
We were also really lucky that the sun briefly came out so we could enjoy it before the rain poured down in the evening.
And a rare photo of me taken by my friend Ben (the guy cooking the food!)
Time to open some presents.
Then finally time to have some birthday cake!
It might not have been filled with other children or lots of family but James, as well as William and myself, had a lovely time. It was wonderful to have so many people here who support and love us to make the day special. Importantly, there was one happy birthday boy!
