and I'm certainly a little tired of "How many sleeps?" (and the countdown has already started for her sixth, along with Christmas!). 
Once again we had a two-day celebration with gran, grandad, Uncle Andy and her cousins coming on Sunday, then grandma and grandpa and a party on Monday. Sunday was a mixture of eating - it was a beautiful day so took advantage and had a bbq, and a visit to the pigs.
I think all the kids enjoyed seeing the pigs. I don't think the cousins realised
they were at 
someone's house rather than at a farm - guess a fairly easy mistake to make since not that many people have pigs, hens, geese, ducks, dogs and cat around their garden along with an ongoing stream of visitors! Apart from a rather violent finish to one of Adam's zip wire runs, they all had a lovely time chasing around. Back at ours Beth opened all the presents she received and was very happy with her gains. A barbie doll and a barbie hairstyling 'head', a CD player along with some music
(to send Steve and I round the bend!), some clothes 
and various other bits and pieces. Today she supplemented all that with another barbie and a horse, a Princess Fiona dress, beads, art sets, and the list goes on! A very lucky girl. Her party was hard work but she loved having her friends come and celebrate. They are such a nice bunch of kids and as a first party with no parents, it went well - outfit was all important and the girls were definitely checking each other out and making judgments, the boys weren't
quite so critical as for them accessories were key, one
with a pirates sword and the other with a cowboy hat. In all a great couple of days after a few very difficult days (that post will come later) and I think Beth thoroughly enjoyed herself. Thanks to everyone that sent birthday wishes/gifts as they were all appreciated. Happy 5th Birthday Beth, our beautiful, energetic, imaginative girl.
