Granddaughters Birthday Party

[Barry]

Well my Granddaughters 1st Birthday party went really well last Sunday and all the children and parents seemed to have enjoyed themselves, mind you there were a few screams and tears from some of the very young children when the clown came into the room but he soon got them smiling and laughing including the big children ‘like me’ in fits of laughter and kept the 40 children entertained for over an hour and a half so it was money well spent, the electric piano was also very good and my stepdaughter Yuni ‘Bless her’ had asked the lad not to play the music to loud so that I didn’t get so disturbed.

My son-in-law Hendra had been up most of the night decorating the house and garden with paper chains and blowing up all the balloons and the party got underway at 8-30am and didn’t and finish until 2pm so a good time was had by one and all.

Thank goodness I did not get to confused or anxious in fact I seem to have spent most of the time taking the photos which strangely enough seemed to keep my mind of all the noise as the clown had the children shouting out loud, and I finally fell exhausted into bed around 7pm and don’t remember much more until I woke up at 3am the next morning

Well that’s all my news for now and I think I’m going to have a rest for a few days after the past hectic week making and decorating the cakes with all the hand made chocolate decorations which took me a long time but worth all the effort and stress to my brain!

What a gorgeous wee girl Barry. Sounds like you all had a wonderful time!

Oh that's lovely Barry.

Frankly I'm impressed that you got the Happy Birthday correct - when I made my son's first birthday cake, I wrote: Happy Birtday. 23 years later I'm still living it down (there are pictures )

She really is beautiful Barry.

What is it with clowns? We all think clowns are for children but when the kids see them they always cry....

Lovely pictures Barry - and well done for capturing the day on film ( or is that digital now ?. )

Thank you very much my friends, although it was a gruelling week getting things ready and then the day itself it was all worth it, I’m just surprised I wasn’t as confused as I thought I would be, but much of that is thanks to Sumi who kept motivating me and planned my day for me…
Best wishes to you all

By the way I had written “Happy Birthday” down on a large piece of paper in front of me so that I could follow the spelling (Just to be on the safe side!)

Your granddaughter is adorable.

I must say, I used to find clowns very scary when I was a child. Now I just find them a little sad.

Thank you Sarah,
Fortunatly I feel OK at the moment and a lot of Sumi's friends have said the same thing saying (Barry Looks OK) but as we all know they can't see inside our brains!
