Eilidh's 8



Eilidh was 8 last Friday. She came charging through at 6,30am and started to open her presents from us in bed. She got a Webkinz from Murray. Books, Pixel chix and an MP3 player from us. Then started moaning that she never got her bike which was actually downstairs. Both children got dressed and it was a brekkie of pancakes before going to school for the Burns Day Assembly.



After school I collected her and 4 friends from school and we headed home for a party. We were joined by family and other close friends. We made our own party bags, (which were smaller than I wanted them to be.) had a gorgeous lunch of sandwiches, Sausage rolls, cocktail sticks, sausages, crisps etc then a huge platter of various home made cakes.


Using a fairy cake we sang happy birthday to the birthday girl.

Then instead of birthday cake we made birthday biscuits with homebaked biscuits, icing sugar and various sweets.



After everyone went home we had some birthday cake. Home baked by mummy.



Then we went out just the 4 of us for a lovely dinner at the Peach Garden.


Over all a lovely day was had a various reports say that it was just the best party ever!

Murray's Birthday Party






Murray's Birthday

Our wee lad has turned 5! His sister arrived in big style in our room at 3am in the morning declaring that Murray's birthday had begun and for the next 2 hours attempted to get us up. At 5am we heard them talking so she'd wakened her brother. At 5.30am we gave in and started the present opening. He got lego and Harry Potter stuff from us and a Ratouille outfit from Eilidh.

For dinner we went to Fabio's. We had a lovely meal minus Grandad Carlisle who decided Florida was more exciting ;-) And the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday and they gave him a candle in his penguin ice cream.

By 8pm both children were in bed and we all had a much better sleep.
