We decided that we wouldn't have a "party" for Jade until she's older... so 5 is the magic number.... so - we had another BBQ dinner at Mom and Dad's place for Jade's birthday this year....
My friend Melissa came with her daughter Anna (and two children they were looking after - Kiara and Kai). Bec and AJ came with Miss Emily... as well as the usual suspects (Mom, Dad, Frank, Jaime, Damian, Xander, Greg & Meg (as well as Rob, Blake and I)).... so it turned out to be a bit bigger than usual... but was still a great night :)
Jade and Kai... (isn't he cute??? - he's in Jade's class at school - but at the younger end of the group)
Opening her present from Aunty Bethia, Uncle Mark, Tom & William....
Jade and Kiara
(opening her presents from Melissa, Anna, Kiara and Kai.... Bratz Dolls)
with hair colouring stuff!!!!
(now given she's taken to cutting her hair with scissors... do we think that learning to colour our hair could end badly too??? hehe)
Tinkerbell DS game (and a colouring in book) from Uncle Damian, Aunty Jaime, Xander & Tubs....
Jade tackling Kai and Kiara playing nicely in the jumping castle....

Melissa.... (came straight from work... from kids to more kids... how excited she must have been!! ehehe)

(don't they make a cute couple?? - Emily the cougar!)
The cake on it's way out... (ooh look - I *was* there!)
ready for singing.....
(candle layout was decided by Jade and Kiara.....)
that one candle just didn't want to go out!
Blake has a shoe fetish!
Jade was happy to eat cake - as long as someone took all the icing off....
Damian with his best attempt at a Sheldon Smile....
Greg & Meg
Was a great night - but was a busy stressy week building up to it all, so I'm not sorry that it's over.... but I'm glad that it worked out..... :)
