All the boys got up early in order to watch Stoke lose to Tottenham. Oh dear, this family's Football teams are not making us happy at the moment. While they watched, I made waffles for the birthday boy. We piled the table up with gifts and cards and watched him open them. He had some fabulous cards today. His presents consisted of new trainers, an alarm clock, tee-shirt, mug, seeds, chocolate, telescope, money, bubble gum, marmalade, tea. A standing joke with us is the fact that Huffle always says he could 'whittle' that, so when I saw a little book of whittling, I had to get it. Of course a book is no good without the accessories so we also bought him the tools and some blocks of wood.
After breakfast, considerable clear up and a game of chess, Huffle cut down a branch to whittle and the boys made a couple of pass the parcels for later. I concentrated on the decoration for the top of the cake. Decided on Stuart the Minnion which was hard to do and didn't really look like him. In the end Huffle thought it was a pirate. I also helped Smallest with his parcelling as he had trouble with the cellotape. The boys made up their own forfeits and typed them out on the computer. They played on their tablets until we stopped for a birthday tea late lunchtime. We had jelly and ice cream and cake. Yum yum.

| Pretty impressive for a first attempt. |
Full of too much food we walked in the village - the other side of the tracks. It was cool but a nice walk. When we got back we Facetimed Grandma and Grandad and played Pass the Parcel. Lots of silly forfeits and mini cream eggs, flower and vegetable seeds and a tree face. While Huffle talked to Grandma and Grandad (and had a delightful birthday song sang to him) I made pizza for later.
The boys played on the XBox and then we ate some of the pizza watching, what Huffle called, Weird beasts and how you find them (Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them). We didn't get to finish it tonight.
*Happy Porkmas is our new day before Birthday name. The boys were putting up our 'happy birthday gels' on the windows and one of the letters fell slightly which made it read Birtl. We then sang Happy Porkmas Birtl Day to Huffle. When we spoke to Grandad later on and he saw the cake, he asked if the minion was a Pokeman. Not a Pokemon but a pokeMAN.
