Bay turned 5 on Friday - 5! I still struggle to believe 5 years have gone past since she came screeching into the world at Barnet Hospital. If there's one thing I've learnt from her gorgeous, but rapid years gone by, it's to stop and ponder on the little things from time to time - those smiles, the little quirky habits, the jokes, the tears - all those things that make them into the great little people they are today. Life goes way too quick....
To celebrate her new digit, we held a party at Hyde Park with 20 little princesses, a pinata, pass the parcel, musical statues and fairy bread of course. For international readers, fairy bread is quite simply white bread smothered in margarine with hundreds and thousands speckled on top. Sounds pretty gross hey? Well, for the record it is, but for some reason unbeknown to the grown ups, the kids absolutely love it and usually end up snuffling it up like there's some sort of sugar famine.
We enjoyed a bit of hand made love in prep for her big day - heart shaped lollies, keepsake cards and fairy cakes were fun to make, whilst the main attraction - the cake - was promptly guzzled up by kids and parents alike.
The lady came away with some beautiful gifts which she will treasure forever - gorgeous hard backed books, hand made bag and purse, hair accessories and enough arts and crafts to keep her busy for the rest of the year. Don't you just love parties?!!!
