Anyhow, this year we did not do a party, he went out for the day for a boy's day out with his dad and a couple of friends. Whilst he was out I decided that it would be nice to do a last minute surprise dinner for him, so Joshua and I decided that we would set the table with skulls (he is into all that kooky stuff) We googled some skull pictures and made them into placemats and laminated them, and I put some red led lights on the table and put his skeleton toy in the middle of the table. I also made a great marble vanilla/choc cake and decorated it with skull candles that I found at the local supermarket. We ate one of James' favourite meals, schnitzel and curly fries (like they have at the hogs breath cafe), and we ate by candlelight. He loved it. He said it was one of the best birthdays ever. It just goes to show that it's not all about the bells and whistles, just about good food, good company surrounded by people who love you.
ohhh that is so sweet of you, you sound like a wonderful mother to make him such a happy birthday :P
