Ciara is 5

It was a lovely sunny day for Ciara's party, in fact every year since her birth we have had a sunny day on her birthday, not as warm as last year's 28 degrees, but pleasant enough to sit outside and have a bbq.  It really occured to me on the morning of the party how easy the whole party preparation is with two big sisters and a big brother who are very willing to help.  Eden and Niamh did a lot of the food, as well as party games organization and all the decorating with balloons.  Jude did a lot of the cleaning inside and outside.
The happy birthday girl who has been counting down her birthday for a loooong time.
It was so lovely to have my mom and Uncle Peter over at the same time too, this is the second birthday party of Ciara's that my mom has been in the UK for.
 
And so lovely to have our family to share the day with us.
Funny face Jaden.
Ayla and her friend Evie, Ayla looking so important as she delivers the pass the parcel present.
Funny face Ethan.
So good to be together.
Lovely Julia.

Big big sister.

Grant and Linda!!
Another one of Ciara.
It was a yummy bbq with boerewors and cheese griller sausages.
And then time for the cake, Ciara had asked for a dolphin cake.

And some yummy sweet things.
Niamh made the starfish biscuits.



I so enjoyed creating these multi coloured meringues with cream.

Macadamia nut butter wholewheat rice krispie squares



Black bean brownies in the corner.
I was quite pleased with the sweets table, 90% of the sweet things where completely healthy, now to figure out how to make a healthy birthday cake.
