Another year older...

Hey everyone! I know I've somewhat neglected the blog for a little while now, but I have not neglected to take pictures, so don't worry :D

The young man recently turned 4, so we did a few special things to mark the day...

Oh yes, first bike. Shiny and red.

A wink from the monster, all suave on his new bike.

Opening presents!*

Happy 4 year old, ripping up wrapping paper.

Dad gives a demo of the new magnet drawing contraption...

Oli has a go on his own...

Time to get the tyres dirty! Woot! First ride outside...

Having a break to play with Drastic.

First air-hockey game at the arcade.

Driving on the grass...

Staying on the road, with a little help from Dad...

The basketball that Daddy won for him from the skill-tester machine! An unexpected present...

Playing whack-a-mole. Thought he would love it, considering his love of hitting things with other things...

...but those critters were a bit too quick and frustrating after a while...

Having a ride with some new friends...

Strawberries and cream cake with a 4 candle on top for the birthday boy.

Tucking into his cake...mmmm....

Almost done!

In bed, sometime after 10pm. What a day...

* Thanks to everyone who thought of Oli this year and sent gifts, cards and wishes; he (and we) very much appreciate it, and he had a fantastic day.
