Lewi's 11th Birthday cont...

The evening before Lewi's birthday we proceeded to make the birthday icecream cake. First of all though we had to tackle the dreaded freezer.

It's been a point of concern, this darn freezer, every single time I need to use it for something other than the normal freezing of food, you know like having to have a really clear space to keep something tall or wide. Every time this happens I curse Mark for making the decision 15 plus years ago to get a fridge that doesn't defrost itself. Argh! This freezer has a build up like an Everestic peak and none of us want to ever be the cleaner of the freezer, hence the Everestic peak!

So, with knife in hand {I know, you're not meant to use a knife BUT do you know how hard it is to clean our freezer?} we tackle the snow and frost in order to fit the mighty echidna in.

After a LONG time the mission is complete and we have room. Phew!

The icecream echidna begins...

 Worry begins... Lewi's last dinner as a 10 year old. Lamb shank pie with old fashioned vegies.

The birthday date arrives. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEWI!

  Some paper boats we made to add some rustic sparkle.

Lewi's card from us.

Some more rustic decorations - newspaper bunting and chains.

Lewi had some of his homeschooling friends over for lunch during the day ~ Luca and Anise, Ptolemy and Perdi and Taj.
