On July 10th we celebrated Jake's fifth birthday at Illawong. So there would be cake, and candles, and presents, and friends. But only close friends, as this was the family birthday.
Silly is as silly does! The Department of Silly Looks? Jake and Tynan seem to be vying for that title, while Taylor, from next door, looks on somewhat puzzled, and Flynn is just visible on the lower right corner.
This Table Is For Ballons ONLY
Even ballons like cake.
Cooper looks like he's about to go into feeding mode!
What is Flynn pointing at?
Brothers and cousins
Brothers, cousins & neighbours with the medical kit.
Onto the next toy - a car
We then had dinner, though some of us had more than others. As mum used to say, "First you pray for them to eat, then you pray for them to stop!" That still applies to modern children.
Though it does not (yet, at least) apply to Cooper, who is quite an eater. And it shows!
The cake and the younguns: left to right: Taylor (hands only), Tynan, Jake, Michelle and Flynn, with Peter and Yvonne in the background.
How many Harrises does it take to light 5 candles?
We have ignition, so it's time for singing and blowing.
"Happy Birthday..." complete with ACTIONS!
Jake blows first - birthday boy always goes first.
Tynan's blow
Taylor's blow - a bit late.
Ah, the end of another fun birthday night.
