A little Party in a Big City

I'm proud to say that I overcame my fears and managed to throw Alex a successful party for his 5th birthday. It was anything big just a small group of kids getting together for a play and a few games.

We invited 9 kids and 6 of them showed up.

Our Guest list included:
Christopher - Lebanese
Xabier - Spanish
Simone - South African
Yoonah - Korean
Elise - Australian
Rio - Malaysian

It was a funny feeling waiting for the 1st guest to arrive, the house was quiet and things were calm. Compared to all the parties we have ever had in Australia it was a breeze. Simple and small, short and sweet.

We served fruit kebabs, fairy bread, homemade party pies and honey joys (which were the big hit). We played pass the parcel, did a treasure hunt and had an egg and spoon race.



The birthday cake was a bit of a bodge up. I got a little carried away with the ice magic and ended up with a river of chocolate around the chocolate cake. I shoved a few dinosaurs around the plate and iced a number 5 onto the cake and it turned out pretty good considering.

All the kids had a great time as did Alex and all the Mums congratulated us on throwing such and controlled and lovey party. Apparently I am the 1st mother to make the birthday cake rather than having one made, so two of the mothers informed.

It was a great way to break the ice and meet some of the school mum’s. I can now stand outside Alex’s classroom at pick up time and have a conversation with a few different woman. Now all we need to do is have one of the kids over for a one on one play date and we’ll be rockin!
