Great 5 year old birthday party

We just had the greatest party for our daughter's birthday and I thought I would share it with you.

We hired the local hall with a bouncy castle and some balls.

After an hour in there we went into another room where I had set up for lunch. I served:

pineapple squares on cocktail sticks
melon pieces
strawberries dipped in chocolate
cheese squares and cherry tomatoes on cocktail sticks
brown bread sandwiches (egg - not egg mayonaise - ham, and tuna mayonaise)
homemade sausage buns (with grated carrot and oats)
diluted juice
and a Barbie cake which my daughter helped make and did most of the decorating herself.

We then had party games consisting of musical statues and pin the little square - pink for girls and green for boys - on my daughter's face (we had stuck a picture of my daughter on a big piece of paper, drawn a pink/gold dress and a silver tiara on it).

There was only one sausage bun, 2 egg sandwiches, a few pineapple and melon pieces left of the food. That was my lunch out the window .

They all said they loved it.

Glad you all had such a great time. Doesn't it feel good when they eat everything? DS1 has a June birthday and we throw them all in the garden with a bouncy castle & play football and run races etc and when they come into to eat they are RAVENOUS!!

DD1 is having a Doctor Who party for her 6th in October. And I can't wait to organise it!

The best part is organising the parties. A Dr Who party sounds like great fun.

It is our own version of pin the tale on the donkey .

I just think it helped the children with the actual task. Just the thought of being allowed to pin something to my daughter's nose was making them all laugh.
