Cupcakes, Twirly Dresses and a birthday........















We celebrated Paiges 4th birthday yesterday with a 10 girls of various ages who all wore their best twirly dresses and came to play in the sunshine with Paige! Her birthday is actually on Guy Fawkes but it's so much easier to organise parties for the weekend! She had a WONDERFUL time, serious overload on Barbie Dolls and accessories gift wise, needless to say we now have a box for just the barbie stuff!!! My super talented friend Sharyn made Paige the most divine cupcakes using one of Tamara Jane who owns Tempt in Wellingtons recipe - simply delish!!!!! I loved the cupcakes with the strawberry lollies on the top - they were super cute!!!

They played Pass the Parcel and I was really surprised as a couple didn't know how it worked and they were older girls as well??? Then they had a treasure hunt for chocolate Freddos that had been hidden around the section and then it was present opening time! Party food to follow, thank goodness for Mum and helpers, quite hard to serve party food to 10 little girls and don't even get me started on the negotiations on who got what colour of fizzy lol!!

Max had been away for lunch with his aunty so by the time he got back he was fast asleep lol!! Still he did wake for the end of the party and had a fantastic time playing 'Drama Queens' with the girls which from what I can figure out considered mostly of them running in a single file line in and out of the house squealing and laughing and shouting Drama Queen - go figure!!!

I really can't believe that Paige is 4 but then I say that every birthday any of my three little people have, time just seems to disappear and we also got a phone call to say she had a place to start morning kindy 5 mornings a week in the next few days and we said yes but that means a whole year at morning kindy and now I am doubting our decision as perhaps it will be too long for her and it would seem her other little friends are all starting at the beginning of next year! Sometimes being a parent seems like a constant barrage of decisions, choices and worry!

So Miss Paige, now you are 4 I look at how much you have changed since your last birthday and the things I have noticed most

- My Little Teeny Ponies have been replaced as your favourite toy by Barbie!!!
- You continue to develop such a lovely personality, especially towards your brother and sister who you truly adore but there is definite backbone in that small body as is quite often displayed with a battle of wills with your Mummy!
- You love to 'twirl' and have an almost obsessive fascination with flip flops and the fact you got your own pink polka dot pair for your birthday just sealed the deal!!
- Your desire to have Macaroni Cheese as often as possible!!
- Your use of the word actually - 'Actually Mummy", 'Well actually I didn't"
- You still love cuddles with Mummy the best and butterfly kisses on the nose!!!

Everyday I am amazed at the person you are becoming Paige, and how independant and strong you are growing up to be, so very proud of you baby!!!
