16 Nov - Indi's Bday Party

 Grab a coffee or a red wine - this'll take a while.

 

A weeks worth of preparations for four hours of party time hardly seems worth it until you see the smiles on the kids' faces. Nic once again did a great job planning, cooking and getting set up. The theme of the party was 'Fairys' - boys come however you want....

 

 First activity was to colour in your own crown.

 

Jaxon and Katie, loving it. Jaxon decided to start the day as Peter Pan.

Indi (aka Tinkerbell) and Kennidy. 

 

Next game was pass the parcel - with a lolly in each layer everyone was a winner.

Lining up for 'Pin the Wings on Tinkerbell' 

Laughter all round; until it's your go.....

Looks like a happy Tinkerbell to me.

Mummy Fairy with the birthday girl.

The Hairy Scary Fairy had a few adults as well as kids wondering what the hell was going on.... What can I say 23 years in the Navy changes a man...... 

Peter Pan quickly changed into Obiwan Kenobi, including a new lightsaber.

Silly Lilly even made an appearance which helped burn off some lollys and cake.

 

I'm sure mother hen wasn't impressed with the intrusion into her domain. 

Cake Time!!!!!!!! Top job Mummy.

Very happy with Mummy's efforts.

I'm sure all the Mums were groaning when their daughters saw this cake....

Nothing like birthday cake to slow things down for a little while.

The Muffin and Hairy Scary Fairy. Definately Daddy's little girl.

Next up was the slip-and-slide.

The kids had obviously forgotten how to do it so the Hairy Scary Fairy gave another demo. Anyone seen a Lear Jet heading to a hospital in Sydney.....

I didn't take Jaxon too long to get the hang of it.

Soap subs and eyes don't generally mix well. 

Oh so graceful Tinkerbell....

No major damage done. 

Off to line up for another go. 

 

Daddy and Indi, enjoying a slide together.

 

Line em and let em go. Kind of like dwarf tossing but gentler.

Luckily Mike stepped in to save my back.

 

What a lovely pair of fairys.

The lawn was enjoyed by all.

Finally.....

You'd think these guys didn't have grass as their houses. Oh that's right they don't. We are very lucky to have the compound to enjoy and invite people to.

What's wrong with this picture. Ross did a great job on getting the bbq started but being American I don't think he had seen real sausages before.... 

After dinner it was time to set up the projector for the kids.

So the adults could relax.

 

Grateful that the day went off without any major hitches. Nice work Mummy.
