Happy 8th Birthday Ben.
His enthusiasm for his birthday was contagious, as he's been planning his day for quite some time, clearly informing certain family members which Lego sets he wants, giving us a detailed menu list (pancakes with extra bacon and pepperoni pizza) and generally bouncing up and down with glee in anticipation. He woke up at 5:40am this morning unable to contain his excitement and was bouncing on the sidewalk in his underwear waiting for me to return from the gym at 7:15 so he could open his presents. He was delighted at the treasure hunt Dan created for him with clues to find his new remote control car. At the dinner table he happily told us his favorite thing was, "the whole day" (as you're only allowed to use that line on birthdays and Christmas) and he finished the day with a skinny dip in Nana's pool, some chocolate cake and some chapters of Harry Potter with Dan on the couch. Life is pretty fabulous at 8.

Kiwi friends, be proud, the institution of fairy bread and pass the parcel is going strong in our family.
