Sjoe but I am EXHAUSTED! That was a very fun party but like any kids party, really tiring. I had FORTY little critters running around which excludes siblings and Daniel and his mates. Fortunately the weather was perfect and the venue great for kids of any age. I went in early to set up and lugged tables and chairs and the likes setting it all up. Then off home to make more of those pesky party packs and pack the last stuff. I had my make-up bag in my bag determined to look gorg for the party but somehow it never quite made it to my face. After the initial 20 minutes of stressing setting up last bits while little people were arriving, all went well.
The played pass the parcel, did potato & spoon, musical chairs and just had a jol. In fact similar to how we use to have our parties. I was lucky Gary took half the day off and came to my rescue bringing candles, more food, strong arms and some general assistance. The party was a big success and I am glad Sofia had a good time, it is all that counts. Rebeks got to have a few friends too so got more prezzies which as you, lights her fire baby! Thanks to all their generous friends, you blessed us big time and it means loads to do over the school holidays.
And now, my note to my love. (Too buggered for a long one here so will have to do short and sweet.)
Hey my big girl
Today you are FIVE! Do you know how big that is, a whole hand!! Mom & Dad wish you a very Happy Birthday Sofia. We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. You are the best hugger and cuddler, a really good ballerina, a great cutter-outer, as flexible as a rubber pretzel, excellent horse rider, have beautiful long blonde hair, have a special way with animals and you are kind and caring. I am very proud of you Fifi. Meeting you for the 1st time was the best thing ever. Having a girl after being convinced you were a boy, well you can imagine what that was like for mom because we know boys are a big pain in the bum. You were the sweetest baby and you have stayed the sweetest girl. I pray you will have another 90 birthdays in your life, that God will send you a very handsome, kind and fun husband who loves Him and loves you as much as mom does. I pray that you will have lots of children and I will get to babysit them lots. I pray that you will always have friends who you care about and who care about you and make you laugh and make you happy. I pray for good health for your gorgeous little body. I pray you and I will always be close, you and Becks too. I know she is very noisy but she loves you lots. I am glad you had a fun party, it was our pleasure to give it to you. Sleep tite Trixie-Blieks, tomorrow we play with all your new fun prezzies.
