At our local C&K kindy, they make such a big deal and a special day of the children's birthdays. There is a special little house that holds the candle (saves spittle on birthday cakes!), a special hat (which William wore all day), special songs and games, along with other routines.
William - very proud of his hat!
Standing in the centre of the circle for the birthday song.
Sharing his cakes with his friends.
A kindy creation - robot! As you can see - Eddies very impressed. (Not sure if you can make it out, but have managed to get E into onesies for those cold winter nights - he still throws off his covers - oh oh oh he looks SOOOOO cute in them)
Lighting the candle.
Here are my feeble attempt at cupcakes - no whole food baking here - good old sugar, butter and flour, with icing sugar and smarties. I really have not got the hang of the icing sugar, as you can see. But the kids loved them!
And here's a final photo - my favourite!
