Incredibly excited and unable to stay asleep, he woke me up at 5.30am. Luckily, I managed to subdue him with homemade pancakes, else he would have been bouncing off the walls all morning.
Eventually though, he became unable to contain himself and he dragged us all into the living room to open presents.
We began with cards, as is the tradition with our family.
Grandini (Lou's name for my Dad) gave Louis his letter opener to speed up the process...
Ultimate concentration!
Eventually, he got round to opening the presents.
It was all over pretty quickly (as you can imagine, a boy aged 6 wastes no time in tearing open wrapping paper) but I managed to get a couple of action shots...
He was given so much stuff, we're so grateful for everything. Here's a couple of snaps of the birthday boy looking rather chuffed with his haul...
This present from my sister and her boyfriend, Josh, was by far his favourite though...
They were rewarded with massive cuddles!
When the present unwrapping was over, everything was quickly whisked away and we all went into party prep mode. More on the party very soon!
