Yesterday we celebrated our daughters' sixth birthday with a party for them and their friends to enjoy. Like all previous birthday parties, this one took many weeks of planning and preparation ...
The party was a "P" party -- costumes, food, drink and games all starting with "P". We had a pirate, painter, puppy, pussy cat and many princesses (including the girls' fabulous teacher). We had painting, play dough, puppets as the activities on offer and succeeded in playing pin-the-tail-on-a-pig, pass the parcel and pick-a-number games before the gale-force winds came in!
Our final activity of the party was for all the kids to paint their own portrait on a canvas ... as a lovely momento for our girls. Each child sat down and painted with care and consideration. One little girl took great effort to paint herself as the cute little puppy she had come as!
After everyone had left, I was enjoying some reflection time and decided that although it had been a lot of work, we would probably go through it all again next year!
