Yet Another Milestone

After countless times being asked how many sleeps until his birthday, James has turned four.   To celebrate, we had a small gathering and a few friends over on the weekend.   Our friends Lydia and Nige had come over on the Saturday eve so it was lovely for James to have someone to open his presents with. 

The boys were in good form all morning and all the parents even managed to fit a run in before we headed out for a walk in the woods, which is what James had decided he would like to do. 

James loving the book that turned into a fire engine!

After we had all showered after our runs and had some breakfast we headed out to Moorlands.   We go here a lot as James really loves it.   Here we met up with some more of James’ friends and they ran around and had a wail of a time. 

We headed to the area with the tree house in it as it has a bit more of an open area for the kids to run around in and let off some steam.   At one point, Gav decided that he could take on the children in a stick fight.   Lord of the Flies ensued and Gav was left pummelled and bleeding on the floor, ok slight exaggeration, however he was not far off it.

This little man loved the tree house! 

Unimpressed faces

After letting off steam we headed back to have some lunch and cake.   James had chosen an Iron Man cake as he is his favourite super hero. 

The little man had a fantastic day and was truest spoilt rotten.   Thank you everyone for coming and also thank you for all those who got him a present, he was truly overwhelmed.
