It’s the week that Puff turns 10 – it’s been ten years of being a Dad, and more than that of writing this blog (if you go far enough back into the archives you can see the countdown to Puff’s birth!).
And here we are at the end of the decade. Puff getting ready for “fiver for a farmer” day at his school, and Huff for book week (find your treasure).
Dad managed to beat Puff at chess on Friday, perhaps for the last time, and then we were into the preparations for Puff’s birthday party.
Here’s Huff at the start of the party (the good camera was out for a run).
One of the popular games at the party was simply playing with giant Lego.
Puff was a bit overwhelmed by how many people gave him presents. Here he is opening one of them (a friend had made him 80 paper cranes, and this was the chosen wrapping – great misdirection).
Not everyone was able to stay for the cake cutting, but there was still a good crowd (obscured here for privacy).
We managed a delicious gelato dessert for Puff’s actual birthday too. Here’s a family selfie to celebrate.
