really the games are only going to be for the older ones but musical statues always goes down well, or pass the parcel.
for olivia's 1st, we just had people round, didnt play games just let everyone sit and chat but having said that, there werent many young children there - only my nieces who were 18mths and 3 yrs of age.
for food i just did a selection of sandwiches, crisps, carrot/cucumber sticks, cheese and pineapple on sticks (god, i love those things!), things like cheese crackers as well and of course cake!

yeah i thought that about games, ill put his ball pool up and just put some music dvd's on, they have dance moves on them too so older ones can copy,
food sounds good, not used to throwing childrens parties lol and i love cheese and pineapple on sticks too :) yeah cant forget cake, im attempting to make it, im not good at baking, can cook but not bake, my last cake had (what i like to call) surprise flower bombs in it lol

hows freya and olivia? xx

i made olivia's 3rd birthday cake - i love cooking and baking so it was fine. it is her 4th birthday on saturday and havent bought a cake nor have i thought about making one....god knows what i am going to do! i need to get a move on with a decision! we are taking her out for a meal so that should be fun with her bouncing off the walls with excitement!

they are both great thanks. olivia is at pre-school more often and is absolutely knackered by the time she gets home but it is making her a tad grumpy! she fell asleep at 6.30 last night and slept until 6am! she normally only sleeps for 10 hours, so going 11.5 is just unheard of for her!
freya is getting bigger by the day! she is sat here with me now having a chat! i cant believe how quick it is going though!
