Ben anxiously watches the clock wind down, in anticipation of the big "three/one" birthday celebration.

Alas, though, he has to arm-wrestle Daniel, to maintain his honorable birthright position as the firstborn son.

Having emerged victoriously, he is shown here with the most wonderful Ryke's cake! Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!!!

Finally, a celebration bonfire for Ben's birthday, and also to welcome the new year.

The birthday boy, basking in the glow of the bonfire.
