My eldest daughter L was 5 on Friday. She's been very excited about this prospect for months now. I took Friday off and H's parents came to visit. L hasn't seen them for quite a while so that was nice for her + it meant she got two lots of presents in one day.
Then on Saturday she had her birthday party. We had 5 guests, so fairly manageable, particularly as one of the mums stayed to help, and Jay also came round to provide wine and make party food. My contribution was a treasure hunt, and Pass the Parcel, and that just wrapped it up nicely. L was pretty grumpy the next day though - I think partly because of tiredness and partly because of the comedown to normality.
Her sister E is now saying "Happy to You", and "Birthday Cake" at every opportunity.
