The party went well

Comment Published at 03:2403:247 comments7 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

Well, after a lot of cleaning and preparation (was still doing the cake when guests arrived) the party went really well.  We had a pirate theme and we all dressed up - some guests did, but not all.  There were 9 kids (R+B plus 5 friends and 2 siblings), which was quite manageable in the end.  We had party games and lots of food and everyone got on pretty well.  I was very drained and hoped it was worth it - until R said "I loved it, Mum" and someone else told me it was the best party ever.  WE had a beautiful day, so (having cleaned the house immaculately) we kept it outside and enjoyed the sun (until about 4pm, which wound it down nicely!

Here are some pics:

Sounds like you all had a great party! Love the photos! Royston looks enthralled at the cake! Well done!! Sorry to hear he's been feeling stressed out and acting up. It must be really hard to work out what's going on or what you can do about it. Hazel's started getting up multiple times in the night again and throwing tantrums in the day - we're hoping it is just a phase, but you can't help question whether it is something you're doing...

I'm in Miami for work the next couple of weeks, so am missing them both terribly. Hope your shopping goes well...

B looks so cool in her outfit! (Of course, the birthday boy looks fine too!) Sounds like you had a wonderful time - so glad the weather was nice so you could be outside - makes all the difference. The galleon cake looks impressive - great joint effort as usual I assume? My compliments to the decorator (wish I could taste it so I could send my compliments tot he chef too!)! Phew, two more birthdays over for the year for you, and mine are on their way now - uhoh!

Actually, for the first time, I made the cake and decorated it too!  Got the idea out of a brilliant book called "30min cakes" - it is just iced in brown, then you add the sails (cardboard) and some lollies around the outside - very simple!  It was still doing it when people started arriving, so it is no where near as good as DH's usual effort....

 No wonder your tired, it takes alot of preparation....but by looking at the great photo's...it looks like all your effort was worth while and a fantastic day was had by all.....love the pirate theme!   Glad the weather was kind to you, also.

By tomorrow you can have a lay and have some well earned relaxation.

Hugs Janice
