Happy 9th Birthday Holly

Yesterday was Holly's 9th birthday which unfortunately for her fell on a school day. Even more unfortunate is that we have a really bad cold / flu going around our house and me, Tina, Josh and Brandon were all stuck at home in bed for her special day. We actually had a restaurant booked for dinner but as none of us fancied eating we had to cancel. Instead Holly had a cheeky McDonalds for her birthday treat and we have promised to go out for her birthday meal as soon as we are all well again.

This year is appeared that Holly hardly had any presents as she really wanted a Nintendo Switch which was actually quite expensive meaning, she couldn't get much else. We did get her a couple of games for the switch, a Stich watch and some of her unicorn teddy things as well. What was funny is that I took and old light switch and coloured it like a Nintendo Switch and then wrapped it as her main present - she was not impressed when she opened that one!

Holly is relly enjoying her Nintendo though even if her birthday was a bit low key this year. Fingers crossed we can make it up to her at the weekend and celebrate some more.

For the first time ever Holly's present pile looks a bit small.

As you can see she was not impressed with joke Nintendo Switch.

She was over the moon with her Unicorn teddy /putty things that she loves.

And the Stitch watch with built in camera, games, pedometer was a winner.

That face says it all.

They are only small, but she loves them.

The best reaction we had from her was when she opened her real Nintendo Switch.

Some nice bath bombs and hair scrunchies etc.

When did she get so big, where have those 9 years gone?

There may not have been many presents, but she was happy with what she got.

A nice Malteser birthday cake for her 9th.

Simple Tesco shop cake, but very tasty.
