At the appointed time, the youngsters are ushered into the eating room and the feast is laid out for them, though the amount eaten varies enormously by child.
The birthday boy, surrounded by good friends, including Riley (on Jake's left)
Cooper and Flynn are at the other table. Unusually, Cooper does not seem to be actually eating at present.
Ellie, Riley's sister, is at the other table, opposite Flynn and Cooper.
No Vegemite in sight, but they do seem to be "happy little munchers", while Rick snaps a photo.
The kid's eye view of one of the two tables.
And the kid's eye view of the other table, where Michelle is serving dessert, I would guess.
Jake and his best mate Riley. Awaiting the cake, I suspect.
Ah, that's more like Cooper - stuffing it in. I suspect Flynn didn't realise he would be in the photo too!
Cooper in his element - eating, and showing evidence of it too.
Ah, The Cake.
Guess whose birthday it is!
Ah, blowing out the candles. In one breath?
Hmmmm, some lessons on etiquette is probably needed here!
