Steve’s Birthday

It was Steve’s (my sister’s husband’s) birthday last week. We celebrated by having cake at Tina and Steve’s place. It was really cool because mum and dad and Steve’s mum were talking to us on the computer (using Skype) and we could see them through the web cam while we sang happy birthday to Steve, so it was like they were there with us. Mum and Dad and Steve’s mum even organised to buy a cake for Steve so that they could feel more included in the celebration! It was more of a tease than anything else because they bought a giant custard tart cake and you can’t get them here in Japan, so I was dying to have a piece! Unfortunately, mum and dad couldn’t pass a piece of cake through the computer for me, but who knows what they will think of next with all this cool technology!


Tina bought a yummy cake for us to try from the local cake shop down the road. It was a fun night and Steve enjoyed opening his presents!
