Jake's birthday

Today is Jake's 8th birthday, and he's had a great day. It started off fairly early so that Jake could open some presents and cards before Mum went off tutoring. He'd already had his main present from us (his bike) but there was more to open from us this morning, as well as some new Wii games from Lisa and Nick.

Jake and I played on one of the new games until Nanny and Grandad arrived to take Jake off to have a birthday shop at Toys R Us, and whilst he was out more presents and cards arrived in the post. Jake returned with the biggest Indiana Jones Lego set you've ever seen, and a remote control Meccano car! Then a little later Rew and Frances popped round with card and pressie before Mum got back and people started to arrive for our afternoon out.

Jake had decided that a good birthday treat would be to go to Dymchurch with some friends and so we loaded up Jake, Samuel, Joshua, Owen, Fraser and William into our car and Carolyn & Chris's, and headed off.

Lots of fun was had by all:
