This year, Aaron’s birthday fell on the first Bank Holiday Monday in May, so he didn’t have to go to school. He was quite pleased about this! 😉

The Saturday previous, went to Dingles Fairground and Heritage Centre at Lifton, for the day for his birthday day out. We all had a great time there and had several rides on the Dodgems, Roundabouts and other rides, as well as the very old 2p machines.

So on his birthday, we didn’t do anything like that, we just opened his presents in the morning (he was up quite early!) and then attempted a picnic in the car for dinner up on Dartmoor. Unfortunately, the weather turned and it was pouring down with rain, so we couldn’t get out of the car. It was a real shame as Aaron had had a new bike and new scooter for his birthday, and had taken his scooter along to ride.  We did have a good scoff in the car though before coming home again, with plenty of picnic food left over for tea. Before that, Grandma, Uncle Darren and Aunty Marina popped over to give him some presents.

Aaron had lots of really nice presents for his birthday including a new bike, new Minions scooter, some lego, some clothes, a Transformer, a Darth Vader outfit, a jigsaw, a game, some Minions stationery, money and several other items.  He loved them all and whizzed through opening them, before settling down to play with them. Kelly also made him a Minions birthday cake, which was brilliant!

The following Saturday was his birthday party, so we booked out the Roborough Hall and hired a Minions bouncy castle for a couple of hours. The bouncy castle was great and Aaron was on it from the moment it had fully inflated, to the moment the company came to deflate it again!  He had about 17 other children from pre-school and other friends and family come, and had a great time.  They had party food as well and Kelly made him another Minions cake, just for his party.  All the children (and some adults!) had a great time, and he got lots more presents! It was a very good party!

We just can’t believe that our little man is now 4 and will be going to big school in September!!

The Saturday before Halloween we all went up to the Woolwell Centre for  Halloween party.  Ben and Aaron both dressed up for the night and had a great time dancing, eating sweets and playing on a bouncy castle.  We stayed there for about 4 hours in the end and it was really good and we will definitely go again next year!

On Halloween itself, Kelly took the boys out Trick or Treating with one of Ben’s friends and his Mum and Sister.  They went around the local area and came back with loads and loads of sweets – a massive haul of them!  Unfortunately it was pouring with rain and quite windy so they got a bit wet, but they all enjoyed it.

Here are some photographs of the boys in their Halloween costumes. 😉
