The boys 6th birthday

*faints* OMG .. yes the boys turned 6 today *faints again*

Time hasn't flown .. but holy Batman .. 6 years ago I didn't think this would be going on ... cool Bananas huh!

.......

The boys birthday started early in the week when we went and visited Aunty L and J and K and they gave the boys their presents early

.. Ben 10 toys and games .. and cool puzzle books that J and K had made themselves ..

This morning on their actual birthday Michael was ready to start opening presents at 5am!!!

I was able to hold him off until we heard Cam wake up .. but not without him checking every 1/2 an hour if it was time to get up .. urrghh!

 

The start of the full on present opening!

Happy about this present .. which later on started a stereo war (music wise) .. a view of things to come?

Aunty S's present is a hit (used lots already)

Their present haul .. looking very happy about them all

 

Bakugon and Dinosaur eggs

The boys with their cakes before we left ..

They went Ten Pin Bowling with their friends L, J and D (S is away on holiday)..

The boys step up to play

.. after a couple of frames Michael and Cameron decided they could bowl without the frame ..

 

   

Dad and Abbie came to lend a hand ..

End result Michael 93, L and D 91, Cam 88, J 85 and Dad .. well lets keep that to our selves ;-)

 

then McDonalds time for lunch

Nana Rose, J, K and Aunty L met us there also.
