She's 5

Here's a few pics from Leah's birthday today. She woke up to balloons hanging from the bunk above her, to banana-choc chip pancakes for breakfast plus prezzies. A day at Nanny's, then honey chicken for dinner and a small cake for dessert. I wasn't going to do a cake today, but I was making cupcakes for kindy tomorrow and had left over mixture.
She says a big thank you to Uncle Andre and Aunty Shannon for the money (she came out waving $10 around very excitedly. You did well to whip over here and hide it under her pillow!), and Brooke and Elisa for her new dress. She plans to wear it tomorrow for her last kindy day.
Ammon started back at swimming on Tuesday and gymnastics today. He likes both but wants to do his thing not what everyone else is doing. Leah is nervous about doing her own gymnastics on Monday because now I can't be with her while she does it. From 5 years she has to do it herself and I sit upstairs watching. Today Emerson started dancing. She is doing hip-hop and so far is liking it. It's in Ngaruawahia so a little travel involved but also an excuse to visit Nanny and Papa.
Em is in room 10 now with Mrs Williamson. She likes her and her class. It is a mix of year 3 and 4. Em is year 3. Leah will be year 1 with Mrs Gribben.

Happy Birthday Leah! We've been thinking about you. It sounds like today has been a lot of fun. Those cakes sure do look yummy - didn't your Mum do well. We hope you have a wonderful party with your kindy friends tomorrow. Ryan and Logan are sleeping over here tonight, then tomorrow night Brooke and Elisa will sleep at their place.
