Tuesday morning came and with it - PANCAKES!
And what pancake would be complete without your very own "Happy Birthday" playing candle (yes, I did manage to slip a few pieces into our shipped items from the States).
Alex was especially excited to be having such a different breakfast (her usual oats, milk and fruit don't quite measure up)! They both put away quite a few (luckily I'd found pancake mix the previous week as the milk situation was still unresolved so making them from scratch out of the question).
Afterwards, Sebastien (well, mainly Alex, really) opened his present from the family (I believe her words were :let me help you Sebastien" whilst grabbing it and starting to tear the paper):
Some animals and a pair of chinese pyjamas (no, no split pants). Toys have been somewhat difficult to find - plus Sebastien is usually happy just playing with his sister's things...;)
I know, I know "Made in China" right - well made and then promptly exported from China it seems. I am waiting a Toys'R Us that is set to open in Xiamen sometime in the next 6 months - mainly to see what on earth they have!
Then it was off to school for Alex with more fun planned for the evening. Balloons come in packets of five - all different colours. Very different shopping for birthdays here.
