After a bowl of hideously overpriced cereal, it was outside for some snow shoveling. Which he'd better get used to as he will be doing it until next April. And you all whine about your ten day long 'Big Freeze' back in Ireland. Please.
Next presents. This year it is a 'Super Ozara' Express Train. Introduced in December 2002, it debuted on the Hakodate - Aomori run. Reaching a top speed of 140km/h, it 'shoots' through the Seiken Tunnel linking Honshu and Hokkaido. Equipped with convenient, wheelchair friendly doors, a plush, unprecedented, three-rows wide 'Green Car', it is the ultimate in rail comfort. Or so it says on the side of the box.
Exhausted from both the snow shoveling and the extended train play / total destruction of same, the birthday boy sat down to eat his body weight in oven-baked potatoes and fried chicken, as is the tradition here in Japan.
He then realized that he had to eat his birthday cake too.
Start with the strawberries...
Yearra, it'll do.
Meanwhile, Mammy tries to get in a sneaky play with the Super Ozara.
Cian, incensed by the liberties his mother has taken with his birthday present, takes his anger out on Daddy.
And finally, we end the day on a contemplative note, wondering whether to accept that modelling offer from Levi jeans.
Ah it looks like Cian had a lovely birthday- I really enjoyed watching the video clips of Cian., please post lots more of them. The birthday cake looks rather yummy, did you keep some for aunty Ciara?
