Doone's 3rd Birthday Party

Whilst Doone turned 3 on Monday we decided that we would hold her birthday party on the Saturday.

Pamela had started preparations for the party weeks in advance and by Friday they were in full swing with her baking all sorts of goodies. We had a late one on Friday wrapping presents and having a general tidy beofore the big day.

Doone was up quite early on Saturday morning as the anticipation was almost unbearlabe. She skipped downstairs and gasped in the way that only Doone can when she seen her presents. Now, at previous birthday's and Christmas's we have had to expedite the openign of presents, not so this time. She tore through the presents one by one without so much as flinching. When she was finished, she went back and examined each one in greater detail.

We had hid her "big" present in the snug. We had wrapped up the door so she could burst through it which, she promptly did. Waiting for her in the snug was a pink Lazytwon Stephanie bike which she adores.

The party went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves although we did invite to many people and the house was completley crammed. It calmed down later in the day when people started to leave but all in all it was an excellent party.

Newlin was his usual charming self. Full of smiles, giggles and was just happy observing all the action.
