Friday 20th March was Toby's 7th birthday and he managed to have a weekend of celebrations.
On Friday he had a fuss made of him before school with lots of presents including a green book bag that he had set his heart on. At his request we had a McDonald's tea where we bumped into one of his friends - an impromptu mini-party! He wasn't too impressed that in the evening we had to go to Beth's athletic club's annual presentation evening - see more about that at the end of the post*.
On Saturday all the grandparents came at one point or another to see him, bring the all important presents and out for another meal. Sunday was the grand finale with a animal-inspired party with all his school year group.
There was great excitement as he hasn't had a big party since he was four and he had Oreo and Friends coming.
They brought a selection of animals ranging from a cute rabbit to the rather breathtaking 'Banana' (see if you can guess which one he is?!?).
A few parents stopped for glasses of wine and to check that their children weren't gobbled up . . . some even were brave enough to hold a snake!
Unfortunately I was in charge of the hotdogs and food so couldn't possibly be available to hold anything!
All in all, Toby had a fantastic weekend and I think thoroughly enjoyed his birthday.
*Beth has been going to Retford Athletics Club since she turned seven. We didn't make the awards evening last year but were tipped off by her coach, Helen, that we might not want to miss this one.We're very glad she did as despite a very long wait, Beth was presented with the final award of the evening, 'Under 9's Athlete of The Year 2015'. Well done Beth!
