The birthday is now over for another year but somehow the celebrations are still been strung out. Two late pressies arrived yesterday, one in the post and one delivered by hand and we are now eagerly awaiting the pack about Monica our sponsored dog.
The party was on Saturday and so high was the excitement level that Ellie was downstairs at 3.30a.m. unable to sleep and thinking that it had to be morning. She returned to bed with little trouble but I was left tossing and turning unable to get back into the groove.
The party went off smoothly with wonderful plates and plaques being painted at the local pottery cafe and then back to ours for pizza and cake - must go and pick up the plates etc today and deliver safely into eager hands.
On Saturday evening her best friend stayed over and on Sunday morning over a special birthday breakfast of muffins and mango she opened her other presents. The most surprising one was the possibility that Grandma could have sent a duvet - luckily that was only what the box said as it was a lovely purple suede bean cube.
On Sunday evening the three of us went to Pizza Express, Ellie's favourite restaurant for tea and as we walked home this vivacious 9 year old turned to her mum and dad and said 'I'd just like to thank you for all you have done to give me such a great birthday and for all my lovely pressies and I would like to tell you that I love you both so much’. Well what more can you say?
