Frank's 34th Birthday.....

It's been 34yrs since Frank made his existence known to the world....

this was when he was still a nice quiet baby..... ahhh - quiet!

He's always been about making an impression!

"I have a nekkidy bumbum!"

Motorcycles have always been part of his life too....

Tonight we all headed over to Mom and Dad's place for Frank's birthday dinner.. Mom cooked a roast!!! Yummo!!!

Blake busy bopping Grandpa's face!

If you face Blake away from your face - he can't bop it!

Someone's getting tired....

Blake was fed and put to bed... then it was time for presents.....

Jade getting a little impatient with Uncle Frank wanting to read his card....

She opened his entire present before he'd finished reading the card - poor Frank, unable to enjoy the joys of opening your own present...

Dad sitting on his step...

Mom

Rob the poser...

Cuddles for Uncle Frank.... (Jade was delivering the present from us... she's sucking up to him so that she can open this present too!)

Frank getting ready to read the card....

Jade again, opening the present while Uncle Frank is busy elsewhere....

Jade: Ooooooh!!!!

Grandpa: what is it Jade??

Jade: I don't know!!!!

so apparently it's only important that the present is shiny... doesn't actually need to be anything she cares about!

GG keeping an eye on things....

What every boy needs on his birthday.... and really really needs someone to take photos of it!! UNDIES!!!

Jade: HE GOT CHOCOLATES!!!!!!

After dinner we headed out to the verandah to play trivial pursuit while dessert was cooking....

Gran and Dad watched the game and just commented when it suited them, they didn't want to join in the game! Slackers!!

Jade got bored with Trivial Pursuit and started making play-doh pancakes.... she then got upset when Rob wanted REAL dessert and not to just eat her pancakes...

I made Frank a cake... I tried to find him some toy motorbikes to put on it - but couldn't find any....

Doesn't he just look thrilled?? hehe

Jade couldn't even let Frank blow the candles out on his own...

However, I have to add that he did ask for Jade's help at this point....

We had a great dinner and left around 8pm, I was a bit worried about how much work it was going to be to get Blake back to sleep once we got home - he woke a little moving him out to the car but fell asleep as soon as we put him into his seat... he woke again a little as I moved him into the house - but went straight to sleep once he was back in his cot...

Jade was a slightly different story - she didn't think that it was bedtime yet.... but she eventually gave up about 9pm.... here's hoping she sleeps in at least a little in the morning....

Anyway, it's late - I'm going to call it a night.... will have more to update tomorrow because we'll be going to the Mt Larcom show where Jade will be watching her favourite animals - Cows and Horses.. (and yes, Cows are more important!!)
