Birthday time for Elijah

Elijah turned 7 this year on the 13th of February. But by the time we got a chance to celebrate it with the kids it was March 4th. It was the end of the carnival week and we were recovering from an ice skating injury . Well , not all of us but Benjamin. An ice skating accident , with 3 stitches to his shin, he was happy to just put his feet up and read . And read and read and read. The pictures are too gory to put up. I will spare you the awkward moment.

On Elijah's birthday we went to the restaurant and had a family dinner. The next day Elijah was in bed for two days with a stomach bug. A great start to his 7th year. He bounced back quite well. Which was good for me .

For his birthday party we went to the Ontdek fabriek . A discovery centre, a place to do woodwork, make something from waste electronic parts, shape thermocol into animal shapes using a hot wire and many more. It was a good experience for the kids to do something with their hands.

We came home and cut cake and had poffertjes (Dutch mini puffed pancakes) , sausages, fries, cucumbers and snack tomatoes for dinner.

This year Elijah requested a super hero cake. Same theme every year , only this year it wasn't a specific hero but a mesh of a few of them on a cake.

All in all the day went well and we ended the day with the 5 of us watch Star wars: The empire strikes back.
