BB has a nerf party

I hmmed and hawed a bit, but knew she would love it. Her initial guest list was v sparse – boys only! so we suggested that she thought a bit and added people she would like to see, and the list padded out such that we had the magical 16 . Friday DH spent making the cake – lego style – and tidying up for all the people staying over. BB then spent sat morning decorating it

saturday dawned, i had hair and nails done by sb

cupcakes made, sausage rolls made, food in order ready to go and people arriving for once we were ‘on top’ of the party so could chat and offer tea etc kids then went off to nerf battle – which i think wasn’t quite as exciting as laser quest fromthe sound ofit, but exactly what bb had wanted . siblings stayed here with the adults, most played, afish decorated cakes beautifully . we became a p[izza factory for a while whilst chatting and all was ready .
Party tea was readilly scoffed, we just fitted 20 kids around the table with some squeezing up pizza, crisps, choc fingers, cupcakes, icecream and jelly were the mainstay. tho bb did have some oranges, i think she was the only one! Party cake well received too . BB love ALL her presents, they were all brilliantly chosen with her in mind thankyou.

we adults then got on with chatting and gossiping and giggling etc until we realised kids should have been in bed AGES ago, and rushed them all into sleeping bags etc and they giggled for a few hours more :).
Next day dawned, but i slept through. got up and got set in making pancakes – a tradition, and yes, it was brekkie 2 and at lunchtime, but i had cunningly laid out brekkie 1 before going to bed apart from milk – so hostess point please . The deependers were pleased to drop in on their way back from church and share breakfast too .
some went home, and some for a walk round the lake to feed ducks and enjoy sunshine before setting off.

A great weekend with friends, thankyou
oh, and as a little epilogue, her friend S had been too shy to go to the party, and instead came round sun eve – so happiness all around
