Saturday was spent preparing for birthday party number two – the dreaded sleepover party. I think we should change the name to ‘night owls’ party because we all know they are never going to sleep. The pack of noisy girls descended on our house at 5pm and hubby and the dog ran for cover. At 1:30am I finally waltzed up the stairs for the last time to request they stop jumping on the floor above my bedroom. I didn’t care if they talked and giggled all night but the thumping was sending me insane!! Would you believe at this ungodly hour they decided that they were hungry…. AGAIN!!!
This was birthday cake number 2 – a home made ice cream cake filled with M&M’s.
Sunday morning when our noisy, and excitable little house guests were returned to their parents (with a certain amount of pleasure on my part) we set about restoring some sort of order to our home so that we could prepare for the family gathering to be held on Monday, a public holiday here in Melbourne.
Aimee had designed her own invitations for the family and decided on a party theme – her favourite of course….. lollies….that’s candy for my US friends.
Sunday afternoon was spent making home made sausage rolls and savouries and lots and lots of sweet treats…….
like choc coated lolly bananas…. choc dipped snakes…….
butterfly cakes – that Aimee made herself.
my version of the NZ lolly cake……
and of course birthday cake number 3 had to be a lolly cake!!!
Alison Gibbs says
Happy Birthday for tomorrow to Aimee. She is one lucky girl to have her birthday last this long. Oh no, sleepovers – they are exhausting. love all of her cakes. The NZ lolly cake looks interesting I have never seen one before
Have a great week and make sure you rest up a bit.

Hey Kerryanne! Happy Birthday to your baby girl! So … if she had three parties and three cakes, does that make her three years older?!?! Tee! Hee! Hee! Hope you’re enjoying your mellow music and peace and quiet – I know just how you feel! When life gets too noisy, I retreat to the sewing room with “Enya” for company!! Have a harmonious day! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
