This year Emilys birthday fell on a Wednesday so the poor little love had to get up and go to school. We made an early start so she could open a few presents before she had to be whisked off to school and when she got home we did the rest of her presents and just had a few sandwiches and the usual visitors and booked a real party for her on the Saturday.
I booked an inflatable assault course at Lightwaves Leisure Centre and to be honest i wasnt expecting it to be up to much, maybe a small bouncy castle with a slide attached or something so imagine our delight when we arrived to set up and saw the caretaker inflating this beauty!!
It took over half of the sports hall and was amazing fun! I was so pleased that all Emilys friends turned up that had been invited. There was a good mix of kids from The Mount and Kirkhamgate and Alisha and Rhianna came too. Everyone got on famously, the mums were kicking their shoes off and joining in, as were the big lads who also helped out the little ones if they got stuck.
Emily had an amazing time. Everyone commented on what a great idea it was and by the time the kids had an hour on it they were worn out and ready for refreshments.
Andrea made a beautiful cake which was huge and more than enough to go round the horde of kids. Mum, Marie, Shell, Auntie Sylvia, Andrea and Celia all mucked in and helped to set out the buffett while i entertained everyone in the sports hall. We had provided enough food for all the parents to eat and taken tea and coffee makings whcih went down a storm.
Everyone had something to eat and there was just a good amount left over to know that everyone was full. It was a perfect day from start to finish, i couldnt have pulled it off without my amazing family!
A great triumph!
