Sonya's family arrived from Melbourne two weeks ago. The boys have only had a few days at school. They have had to learn the route to walk home from school. So much for them to get used to. Then it was Banjo's birthday last weekend. He hasn't been at school long enough to make any firm friends so he had a family only day.
His dad cooked him his favourite breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup.
We gave him a few presents including my old iPhone 12 Pro. He was overjoyed as he was the only one in the family without a phone.
It is so good having them live in Brisbane. The next day Sonya and Bernie took the boys for a surprise visit to Movie World on the Gold Coast, as a treat for Banjo's 12th birthday.
More than just a birthday celebration having your family co close now.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember being 12? I was too short and too young for my year at school, but otherwise I thought the world was a pretty cool place. But are 12 year olds optimistic these days?
ReplyDeleteI remember being happy at 12. We moved out of our garage and into the new house my Dad and Mum built ,it took them 5 years. I had my own room. I also started high school.
Deleteit is hard for me to believe he is 12 years old. Happy Birthday Banjo. He has become a handsome young man which was not hard since he has always been a handsome child.. love the cake
