A 4 Year Old Girl




We had a very very excited 4 year old girl all day - until 10pm tonight!!
She slept in - so the day started slowly. But once those little eyelids opened, a bout of adrenalin immediately kicked in and ran the whole day through. She responded with 'happy birthday' to each 'happy birthday'!
It was not enough for the day to arrive though. We counted down the hours until the tea party began. As the house fluttered with baking and decorating, P sat at the table in the garden with her new wooden tea set and prepared food - so she told each happy birthday caller. In fact, P had asked me for some sugar to put in her new sugar pot. I didnt realise until she requested a second helping of sugar that her preparation involved drink tea cups of sugar and water!
It was a beautiful tea party and P was a fantastic host - greeting and thanking all her guest. She handed out a potted strawberry plant to each of her friends as she said goodbye. We hope they will produce many delicious strawberries!
The tea party ended and our chickens (well 2 chickens and 2 roosters, we discovered today!) tidied up as we moved on to a family birthday dinner - to do it all again.
What a fantastic day!
