Rosie's birthday week

This Mama and her brood are proudly celebrating Rosie's 6th birthday this week. And why not celebrate for a whole week? She's a special girl.
We have balloons in the garden, flags along the fence, decorations in the house and invitations went out to special friends for an 'explorer party' at the mountain bike park.
With compasses in hand, Rosie and about 10 friends were led by Ian around a nature hunt before returning for a sausage sizzle and cake. The rain didn't stop us either (if anyone can remember last year's downpour and 40 people in our house, this was much more relaxed).

Happy Birthday beautiful girl.

Just so everyone knows...

Just some of the baking...

Getting prepared.

New presents need to be worn right away don't they?

At the party - the rain held off for a while then there was a quick relocation to shelter at the mountain bike park for the cake.
