Birthday Morning

Today was Harriet's actual birthday. We started the day with presents in bed than off to school. Billy and I took a birthday morning tea into her school. Her big birthday surprise was a playhouse. Ang designed it and her dad made it. Once Harriet had gone to school they brought it round on the trailer and assembled it in our garden so it was there when Harriet got home. She had a big birthday dinner with all the family and her third birthday cake from Nani Ji.
Today she announced her plans for her 5th birthday...it could be a long year of planning.

Happy Birthday Princess Dora

harriet's 4th birthday started today with her dora party. she dressed as princess dora. Harriet was ready by 7am ( party kick off time 3pm), by 10am the decorations and sidewalk chalk drawing announcing where the party was were done by harriet and ella and by 11am to save all our sanity harriet and I went to get some last supermarket things. It was a long 3 hrs from 12-3pm with harriet checking out the window at least every 15 mins for people.
The party was great with Isabella and her friend maddy managing all the games and the requested Dora cake was a hit with Harriet. Tues is her actual birthday and we are taking morning tea in to her school and having a family party at night.
