Well today is the our big girl's 7th birthday. ...... and the celebrations have the same ingredients as back home.....,cakes, games, fairy bread, cheerios, pressies, dancing and lots of excitable girls The celebrations started yesterday as Poppy has her 3 closest friends Angela, Betsy and Azalea over for the afternoon, sleep over and then to the beach today.
Poppy is also very lucky to have Nan and Grandad here from Tauranga for her birthday, so has been great to have them here to join in the celebrations.
In somewhat normal Honiara style the power went off right on tea time and we ate tea by torch light, but luckily came back on in time for the DVD.
The good thing about 7 year old sleep overs is they do sleep - no sitting up all night talking thank goodness....but they are old enough to self entertain and hang out in the pool.
Tonight we will go out for dinner as a family.
and voila...we now have a 7 year old in the family. Seems she has grown up very fast. She is a sparkly, funny, sensitive but somewhat crazy kid with a wicked sense of humour and we are very proud of the way she has embraced the new life she lives here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS
