Happy Birthday Matt - belated

I have had difficulty uploading photos onto blogger for a while, but finally I seemed to have found a solution. Here are photos from Matt's 6 Year Birthday Party - which actually took place in early October.

 

In keeping with Matt's love for Toy Story we had a Woody Party for his birthday. We kept it small, simple and brimming with games that Matt enjoys.

 

 

A home-made present from Jude - check out more about this boy and this gift here.

 

Lloyd's dad - who lives in Howick - was fortunately visiting Cape Town and joined in the birthday festivities.

Matt's great anticipation and attention -watching as Lloyd gets everyone excited about the party and the forthcoming activities...lots of yeehaa-ing and howdy-ing
.

Duck-Duck-Goose - one of Matt's favourite games

 

 

Find-The-Toy-Soldiers, they're hiding in the bushes.

 

A fun trampoline game that Lloyd invented

 

 

 

 

Build-a-Potato-Head game followed closely by...

 

Waterballoon-the-Potato-Heads game

 

Pass-the-Parcel, or in Matt's case, Pelt-the-Parcel to the next person.

Squirt-the-Cups-Over game - try knock over the cups. And yes, little Nic is shooting water in his own face.

Drumming-Whilst-Being-A-Strange-Animal game

Cooperative-Puzzle-Building, a bit challenging for 5 year olds who all want to do it by themselves!

 

And finally - the most exciting thing about birthdays for Matt - the Happy Birthday Song

 

 

Followed by Matt's 2nd most favourite brithday thing - cupcakes

 

 

 

And to finish off a wonderful time of play and eating,

our now 6-year old decided a drum solo was required

 

Happy Birthday to our precious Matt
