Happy Birthday Alexander

My first little baby turned 7 today. Happy Birthday Alexander.
All of a sudden you seem grown up, like you are finding yourself and gaining confidence in everything you do. Where did those 7 years gone - they seem to have whizzed by so fast yet here you are a little man - a big brother and a wonderful little person.

We broke with birthday tradition this year and by request did presents via a treasure hunt as opposed to the usual pile in our bed. So each present was hidden in a different location which was found via a written clue on the previous gift.
This extended the process and certainly upped the excitement level for a certain 7 year old.
In the evening we celebrated with family and a couple of friends who are really like extended family. We shared a meal and the kids had a lovely time playing outside together which meant we too had a relaxing evening.
The cake was an attempted griffendor sword from the 2nd Harry Potter book. This was easier than some of the alternatives requested - such as a sorting hat. It is sitting on perspect that I found as an offcut in the recent garage clean up. I think that may be a very useful find.
Happy Birthday honey. I hope you had a wonderful day.
