I still clearly remember when she was a snuggly little bundle!
Luckily for me she wants a simple birthday party (far from last year's nightmare party with 8 girls-with-attitude who scorned my party games, jewellry making and trinket box crafts in favour of running around the house screaming!) This year will hopefully be more refined (and give me less grey hairs). Today we're having a little party tea and then at the weekend she's having a sleepover with just one friend. I'm putting together a little sleepover kits with lipgloss, nibbles and crafty bits and we've got the high school musical dvd ready to go so we're all set for a girlie night of mayhem and fun (Toby and H are escaping to the Grandparents).
I am really looking forward to some special time with my special girl.

Happy birthday!!! Enjoy your time with Amy!

I remember last years birthday too. The idea of the sleepover kit is wonderful, I bet she’ll never forget it. For my little girls birthday party this year we did ‘make your own pizza’. I made the doughballs in advance, then they had fun rolling it out and adding the toppings. x

Have a super sleep over – or stay awake over as they should more correctly be called! HSM is very popular in my house too, in fact we had to tape the singalong version off the tv the other day so my 8 year old and her friend can sing to it, which is hilarious!

Perhaps a new little cotton rabbit story might be ready for the sleepover. I’ll try. Big hugs
