The last Sunday in May saw Ella's fourth birthday extravaganza, beautifully set up by Emily. She ordered balloons, made crepe decorations over the kitchen hatch, and sorted out the numerous presents to put in a large pile - before of course party guests added to the total.
Early in the morning we saw the arrival of further party equipment in the form of a jumping castle, which was a huge hit with kids, especially as they could turn the power on and off and expand or deflate the contraption. They also supplied a large folding table and 12 micro-chairs suitable for 4 year olds
The party theme this year was butterflies. Ella produced some her own to festoon the wall. I thought that the third one here was terrific and could have been painted by Picasso. The cake itself took the form of a brightly coloured butterfly and Ella loved it.
The balloons incidentally have lasted a long time and 3 days on are still proudly flying in front of me. And so to the main actions of the day. Opening the presents, all of which went down well;
Entertaining her group of friends.
Jumping in the castle.
And, finally, blowing out the candles on the cake - made difficult by a blustery wind intent on doing that first!
It was a very successful day.
