How In The Blue Hell Do I Have a 16 Year Old?

Well if I wasn't already feeling old, Joshua turning 16 earlier this week has certainly cemented the fact that I am "old". How the hell can I possibly have a 16 year old???? 

His birthday was pretty low key as he didn't want a big party or anything. In fact he just wanted to go out for a meal with the family and therefore we are going to arrange something for the weekend. As a little treat on his birthday Tina bought everyone a Chinese takeaway as she had not time to cook anyway due to Holly having to go for her open evening tour of Beauchamp's School (again making me feel old with the fact my youngest is already looking at senior schools!).

For Joshua's birthday this year he really only wanted a new phone and bits for his PC. So he got an iPhone 11 with a WestHam case, a microphone, headset and new mouse for his PC, a Nike tracksuit, a hot chocolate kit and a pack of cider plus a few other bits. We wanted to get him something to remember his 16th and bought him a 5mm Cuban square chain in white gold. Due to the size of Josh this had to be a 20" to fit around his neck!!!

Other than that he just got money and vouchers. Then for his 16th birthday cake Tina got him a chocolate cake from Tesco's. 

This man monster turned sweet 16 this week.

Brandon was still in bed so only 4 of us in Joshua's birthday pic!

Almost smiling. I think he just wanted his presents at this stage.

Bit of a give away when he opens the WestHam phone case before he opens the phone, doh!

Nothing special for a cake, just plain chocolate, but very nice.

A very flattering picture of Joshua blowing the candles out, I think he was still more interested in playing with his new phone.
