It was too much to hope that MacK might give us a sleep in today. As usual, he was up and at 'em by 0630, with far too much energy for that time of day. We had a bit to do to get ready for his party, including baking the cake.
We had a small afternoon tea for his party, with the Aleksiuks, Dad, Tyson and our next door neighbours over. We sampled a few bottles of the current brew batch, and had a really nice tea. The menu we served was:
- Sourdough with air cured sausage, olive and gherkin mayonnaise and hommus
- Chocolate, prune and espresso sourdough
- Tomato, asparagus and feta quiche
- Pork, apple and caraway sausage rolls, with tomato relish
- Potato latke, with smoked salmon and dill and caper mascarpone
I thought we had cooked heaps of sausage rolls, but discounted the appetite of Dad and Tyson when faced with something they like the taste of! Still, there was plenty of food for all, and we finished with a chocolate butter cake.
MacK pushing the truck Tyson gave him. Everyone seemed to work within the same construction type theme, so he now has more trucks than he can possibly cope with.

MacK's construction site cake. All the kids were particularly fond of the 'rubble' (made of Crunchies) - and the big kids too!

When Jane was last in Canberra, she took some beautiful photographs of MacK with a couple of friends running around the lawn. As the photo below shows, he didn't end up with a lot on... The pics are great, but not for widest dissemination. The pic below we do like, as it shows his obvious desire for modesty!
