Evan had his 6th birthday this week and we had some fun times! I couldn’t take his birthday off due to some important meetings, but I did get to spend some of the early morning with him while he opened his presents and got ready for his day.
The big present was a new bike that he’d wanted for some time now. He’s outgrown his other bike and was ready for a new one, so we bought him one, with the help of some money from Oma and Opa.
We had a few more presents for him to open, which he did quickly in the morning. Then I had to go to work and I got home early enough in the evening to be able to see him off to bed. So it was a good day for me being able to spend some time with him.
During the day, Nicole took the kids to Nogeyama zoo in the city. There’s a petting zoo there too and the kids had a great time with the mice and the guinnea pigs.
That evening Nicole baked a cake and decorated it with a Transformers picture. Check out the pictures on the http://hoflich.com/photos web site.
The next day (Thursday) I was able to get off and so we had his birthday part on that day. We had a Transformers theme birthday party since Evan really enjoys Transformers now. We had crafts to start off with and we had pass the parcel but apart from that and eating, we mucked about playing soccer, hide-and-seek and other fun games in and outside the house.
The weather was excellent for the party and so we had most of the party outside. The cake was served outside and everybody enjoyed the transformers cake that Nicole had made and NZ ice-cream.
Akeel and Atul stayed with us the whole day and at the end of the day they relaxed watching some Transformers. We broke out the flourescent lights and turned the lights out to watch them glow.
In all, Evan and Lauren were knackered from the day, but I think they had a good time. I really enjoyed myself and it was a rare treat taking a day off work.
