Here I am with Oscar, I'm the blonde one, sitting atop my cake with Scrat from Ice Age. "Cakes by Kerry" rock again, that's my old (former!) childminder from pre-nursery days.
Oscar and I had a joint party for nearly 70 (yes 70) kids at Horizone - Mum says it was the most stress-free party as she arranged it with Frances! It was the most massive one, and the best I've ever been to.
The cake - woweeee! After the last two parties where I didn't play, I just sat on my mum's lap, I was pleased there were no party games here. Just playing and more playing. We had snacky foods, and endless juice. Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Oscar and me and then we blew out our candles. It was so cool! The best party EVER.Max's blog has a much better picture of this than me - well, probably cos it was taken with an actual camera (remember what they are?) not some iBloodyThing. Click here to see it.

The next day it was like Christmas again. I got so many wonderful presents from my party. Here is a list:

Also present at my party (not mentioned above as I already had birthday presents from them on my birthday) were: Max (despite his broken arm, respect!), The JoniBobs, Jonah, Oscar, Tals and Felix obviously.
Missed at the party for various reasons were: Erin (because her mum was doing the hard job of being a good mum); Harry (his own birthday the next day); Tori and Annabelle (both poorly); and TJ and Vinnie from school, along with NCT Ninouska.
I received so many presents from my friends, they are all brilliant, I love them all. Thank you so much to everyone for coming to my party to help me celebrate turning 5, and for all of your generous pressies.
