This year it was Ben's turn to have a party for his birthday and while he wanted to have a party at Tunzafun, Lets play, Kid city and bowling! I helped him settle on a bowling party.

Which he was quite pleased with!
He had lego blocks as his cake.
His wife Alyssa came. Her Mum told me she was a pain getting dressed because she insisted on preening herself and looking her best just for Ben!
His oldest friend Harry was there!
He did really well at the bowling and apparently no matter the score you always get to be the winner when it is your party!
I loved the card Alyssa gave him. She is the pink mate, he is the blue one!
The lolly tray was quite the attraction!
On his actual birthday he got a powerwing scooter. Ryan and Matthew got these for Christmas. We didn't think Ben would be coordinated enough to use one but we were wrong and it has been a long 8 month wait from Christmas to his birthday so he could have one too! Thankfully we no longer have fights over the powerwings, now they are only over the razor scooter, of which there is only one!
My boys are growing up!
But before even Ben's birthday it was Cleon's birthday. She was in Brisbane for her actual birthday but she was lucky enough to still get a cake. we must really lover her or something! I made her an extra special rainbow cake. Which she love to pieces and insisted on taking the left overs to work the next day. She also took Michelle's left overs too!
We had Cleon's cake a few days before they left on 4 1/2 month around the world trip so the boys had to give the girl enough cuddles to last them for that length of time!
And seeing how the rainbow cakes were such a hit I made rainbow cupcake for Ben class at school. His teacher thanked me sincerely for all the excess food colouring in the cakes. It really made her day!
