Party for Rosie
Today we celebrated Rosie's 4th birthday. She turns 4 on Monday so 10 of her buddies, 9 of their siblings, and 7 extra parents squeezed into our back yard for a PARTY. (We're very thankful it was fine so we didn't have to squeeze 29 people inside).
We played musical statues, hit the decks, pass the parcel, and pin the tail on the donkey. And no one cried! At least, not for very long.
One of the highlights for Rosie (apart from friends) was the Barbie doll cake, which took me a good few hours work so her delight was a just reward. Amazing what motherhood can prompt you to!
It's lovely to see how far God has taken us as a family in 18 months - the great crowd of friends and neighbours he has blessed us with, despite leaving home and family in Brisbane. It's still hard to be away from them of course - I particularly missed both our mums in the lead-up to the party, (they would have been asking what they could do to help!). But we're thanking God for friends, for (comparatively) healthy kids, and for being our provider in all things.

Rosie is a wee bit confused with the Party day vs. real birthday concept! Today she asked me if all her friends will bring her presents again tomorrow, if we can play pass-the-parcel again, and what cake I'm going to bake for her 'real' birthday tomorrow! But I think a trip to Hatton Farm Village will be enough ;)
