TJ celebrated his birthday without his dad this year as he was traveling so making it a nice day was left to me.
TJ wanted a Tiger cake this year and so I thought I’d best get this done the night before so as not to be stressed. Well it turned out to be a long night after the first cake I cooked didn’t rise enough. So I started again and thankfully second time lucky. Come 4.30am I was just about done other than the licorice details.
He was very excited as by the time he woke up I was just finishing it off, he was very happy with it.
I had planned for Elijah TJ’s best friend from Kindy to come over and I planned to take them to Featherdale Wildlife Park for the day. I also smartly made sure to have a helping hand with me for things like toilet stops etc…. Natalie a friend from church gladly helped me out which was lovely of her. So 5 kids and us before long headed to the park. We had a nice time, got to feed wombats, kangaroo’s, emu’s, goats and sheep. I saw my first alive Tasmanian Devil, yep all the rest were road kill.
After Featherdale Park we headed home just as Gran and Granddad showed up to spend the afternoon evening with TJ for his birthday. We had a nice evening and he was happy to be spoilt for the day.
TJ got some lovely presents, lego’s from Uncle Gregg and Aunty Mel, Toby and he have been enjoying doing that together. A cow pillow pet from Gran and Granddad, a Ben 10 toothbrush from Aunty Nicky and 2 Ben 10 toys. A lucky boy. He also got some emails from his family in the US and Columbia.
Oh and when Toby got home he said the cake tasted good as well as looking good, thanks honey.
