We were never much one for birthday parties with the kids - the thought of all those other kids running around the house was a little too much for us - mostly it was just family doing the birthday cake thing. Kayleigh did have two birthday parties to celebrate the two main milestone she got to -her 10th birthday and her 13th.
Kayleigh tenth birthday we had about 12 girls turn up at our house one Saturday for two hours. They did the whole 'find the lollipops in the backyard' which was fun - we found lollipops in the yard for WEEKS after that they missed. They did pass-the-parcel and complained that there wasn't prize in every single layer. One lovely little girl told Kayleigh that I obviously didn't know how to run a birthday party because everyone was supposed to get a prize and I was doing it all wrong. Then the girls found the fishpond in the backyard - I think they all ended up in it. One girl even stripped down to her underwear and ran around the backyard. The best part was when the girls ripped down all the decorations and popped all the balloons at once. Kayleigh had a great time.
For Kayleighs 13th birthday she had a BBQ and movie night - she invited 5 people but only 2 could come - they both turned up and informed us that thy had already eaten because they were vegetarian!! So much for the BBQ. They watched two movies - Ice Age 3 and something else I can't remember and Kayleigh was really happy.
