Harry's 11th Birthday

He's made it to the grand age of 11.



The celebrations started on Friday although strictly speaking he wasn't born until around 8:30am Saturday morning - the wonders of time zones. But it least it's an excuse to keep partying. Since Friday was a school day only a little celebrating happened including birthday cake at Friday evening tennis.

Saturday started with a hockey match and their 3rd straight win.


Then it was back home for the party. The tradition has been that I make the birthday cake and each year it gets harder to think of something different. Inspiration came from the Woman's Weekly Party Cake book following a visit to see a comedian do a whole act on the subject at the Melbourne comedy festival.





Pool party massacre got a good reception from the assembled crowd.


Then Harry and his mates headed to the ice rink for a couple of hours skating. And that is them all in the centre of the rink.




We had a couple of them stay over last night, they've gone now and now the house is quiet and Harry's happy that he had a great day. Today it's more tennis (probably the subject of an extra post) and Iron Man 2 to end the weekend.
