When she got home from school she was very excited to find her first present from Cha Cha ji and sara so we let her open it...she loves them thanks Dee and Sara
Last pics of our 6yr old girl on Friday night
Saturday morning was presents in our bed, some DJ headphones from Isabella, HSM Pjs from her brothers for the sleepover and a planned ferry trip out to Tirtiri Matangi to go native bird watching, a whole day where she gets Mummy to herself.
The day was spent playing at the park with her cousins, having birthday visits from Leon (who also took Billy away for the night before the sleepover) and Pop Mak. Pop Mak gave her a watch which she loved but also meant she told us the time every few minutes from the time she put it on till a couple of hours later when her first guest arrived.
Her 13 guests arrived at 5pm, there was playing, present opening, chips and fried rice for tea followed by a make your own dessert table, than the requested HSM guitar cake.
We put all our mattresses down in the lounge and they watched HSM 3 and ate popcorn, there were times when it was completely silent. They were all asleep by 11pm after Isabella played some games with them. The first girl was awake at 6am but they stayed in their sleepingbags till 7am.
We fed them pancakes for breakfast and the last girl left about 10am so we could get ready for her family birthday lunch.
All the cousins were there for lunch, even Awa was down from Ahipara. We tried for some pics of all the cousins which wasn't easy between Arlo being interested in his toes, Sol pulling numerous faces and Billy and Awa wanting to move but below are some of the better ones.
Cake this time was a pavlova
and than there was more playing until Harriet had to go to a 3hr Bollywood rehearsal.
guess who loves his big cousin
Needless to say she was asleep Sunday night a few minutes after her head hit the pillow.
