Happy Fourth Birthday Em!

Well you can just tell what kind of week it has been by the fact that I am posting Happy Birthday to Emily 5 days after her actual birthday! It has been pretty hectic to say the least. We had a lovely time on her birthday last Friday. She went to school in the morning then to a soft play park in the afternoon and a family tea with Warrens family in the evening.

Saturday was the day of her actual birthday party. When I asked her this year what kind of party she wanted she requested a 'Monster Party' with a monster cake with green icing! So we made green furry invites for all her friends, managed to find this Sully suit (from Monsters Inc) at a car boot sale at mos over the summer and even got Harrison a great little green monster outfit.

The party was complete bedlam, even by my standards. In the end we counted 16 kids in our house and there must've been at least 20 adults! Complete madness (yes I know it was ll my doing but sometimes you can get a bit carried away!). But despite the craziness of it all every one seemed to have a great time and all the kids came dressed as monsters which I thought was just great! As ever, when I get my act together I will put some photos on for you to see - including my cake, which I was so happy with! I might put a few more pics on my Noodles site later if you wanted to have a look.

I fell asleep at about 9.30 that night and I am still trying to clear up from it all. The good thing is Em got lots of craft based presents from her friends, so once she has used them they won't take up any space! So thanks for all your lovely gifts if you are reading this, she really is a lucky little girl! :)
