a month of birthdays – part one

Today is victoria day. A day of lazing around and may showers and, obviously, a trip to victoria to see a kid flick.
Eliza's birthday is next week and we had her party this weekend. We invited five families over for a barbecue and wrestle in the sandbox. That would be twelve adults and sixteen kids. Brave me.
Eliza had a wonderful time. Being the centre of attention is difficult for her, but she got the hang of it and by the time everybody left at 10pm she was leading the pack in a moonlight fairie hunt.
