Here's a little rundown of how the day went.....
It started off with going to Marcus' 6th birthday at Inflatable World. A real fun way to start the day!
Then we came home and got things ready for her party. As usual time flew and before we knew it, we had family and friends arriving. Yay!
Initially she was overwhelmed. I found her cowering under the table whimpering as the crowds rolled in. When I crouched down beside her and asked what the problem was, she said 'I don't want people to come to my party!!!!'. What the?!?!?!?! She'd been waiting for this day for months!
Didn't take long for that to wear off and she was in the full swing of things. I'm glad she chirped up cause I'm sure it's been the birthday we've waited for more than any other in history. She's talked about it soooo much I can't even believe it.
We had lots of yummy dinner and dessert, and more importantly we had a brilliant time with lots of family and dear friends.
She got some cool pressies and has loved looking at them, wearing them and playing with them this week. Everything she got was so 'Ella' if you know what I mean.
Dinner was shared under the cold cover on darkness on the deck and the kids did it picnic style in the lounge on the Jujitsu mats, glad they came in handy for something |
I love you my Bobby, and since you're now 3, here's 3 reasons why. (Even though there's so many more than 3 reasons why I love you!)
1. Your whole face smiles when you're happy/cheeky, and you have half cresent moon eyes like your Dad and big bulging cheeks.
2. You love to play with dolls and look after babies. You care for them in such a sweet way and I love watching you take them to the beach, to weddings, to the doctor, give them their milk bottle and wrap them up for bed in your new little cot.
3. You have always been a wonderful night time sleeper. Even now when you get up for the toilet or because you're too hot, you always sort it out and go straight back to sleep.
I love you Ella Deseret. You're so super special to me and I'm so so so blessed to be yo Mamma!
