10th Birthday
For his 10th birthday (how is he 10 already?), Ben wanted to go camping, which we did at Perran Sands but the following weekend, he had some friends over to stay and they then went to the cinema on the Saturday to watch Johnny English 3. Kelly took them all and they all thought the film was hilarious! 😉 Ben had bought the first 2 films on dvd with his birthday money, so they watched those on the Friday evening and Saturday morning, so they all knew what had happened previous to the new film. Ben had a great time with his friends and played on the Wii, football outside and ate way too many goodies. His friends that came this year were Jake, Ollie and Dean. They all had a good time as well and were nice and polite, which was great, although they did wake us up really early as they all went to the toilet, banging around, at just after 6am! 😉
For his actual birthday day, Ben wanted to keep his presents until after School, so he only opened some of his cards before School. I left work early and picked him up from School so we got home a good time and Ben opened his presents. He was very happy with them all. Some of his presents were Minecraft for the Wii U, some new clothes, some Harry Potter Lego Brickheadz, a Harry Potter hoody, a new fitness watch (as he had lost his other one in Scotland), some Harry Potter Lego Dimensions, a football book, Vue cinema vouchers, a new football, Amazon vouchers and a few other things inc money. They were all great presents so thanks to all that gave him something!
For tea, Grandma came over as well and we had party nibbles. We all ate too much but enjoyed the selection.
Ben had a lovely birthday and sleepover with his friends but we just can’t believe he is now into double figures for his age!!!
