As the pictures will attest, Egg’s sixth birthday was a banner affair, which, by way of proof, tuckered the living heck out of all and sundry.

still, a success on balance, given the unending flow of gifts, the various birthday meals and the barefoot wood carving. Best of all, we were joined by lots of classmates and parents from Pelangi School, making it a truly festive affair.

thanks to all the aunties, uncles and grandfolk who weighed in with birthday greetings. well done to the missus for wrangling together a birthday jamboree on a dodgy stomach.
also, as ever, Tash has posted much more comprehensively about the big day than i ever could…especially as we’ve had an intervening weekend of fairly mammoth proportions that will soon be requiring its own treatment.

so on to the photos then…Happy Sixth Birthday to our not-so-little Egg.
