We celebrated Addison's birthday with her friends a bit early so that it didn't conflict with the upcoming school break.
We invited about 15 of her friends. At a bit after 2, only one had come - oh no! What if nobody comes? Our little girl would be so sad as we'd been talking about it for the past week.
Finally by about 2:20, most of her friends had come - though one family hadn't and the others said she wasn't coming because her parents had another party to go to (the two girls did end up coming).
We had a lot of fun - food, cake, painting and games. Have a look.
After eating rice, chicken nuggets and hot dogs, first, we played animal limbo:
Then we gave out little wooden dinosaurs, ducks and robots and the kids painted them:
Then it was time for cake. And yes, that's a motorcycle, alien and animals on her cake, chosen by Addison!

After the group picture, kids had to find fake gold coins we'd hidden around the house. This was their ticket to play the last game - the freeze dance:
Frozen as crabs:
