My son's 9th birthday is on Sunday. I had started buying his presents pre lockdown and unfortunately a planned trip to Legoland (inc staying at his favourite premier inn in Slough
) has been cancelled but we have promised him we will go once it all reopens. He has requested a Dominos pizza on Sat night and then a tea party on the Sunday just the 4 of us. I will make his cake as normal but just a lot smaller as normally on his birthday we have all our local family come over for cake and tea.
One thing I have done is collated video messages from his school friends and family saying 'happy birthday' and will edit them together and play on his birthday morning! I emailed his teacher who also made a really sweet video messaged and sent back
He will at least always remember his 9th birthday! I hope he isn't too disappointed.
