Birthday party

Birthday party

Matthew had his birthday party this morning at Krazy Kids play centre, the first time hes had a birthday party somewhere other than at home.  Louise sent out the invitations before the children broke up for school and was concerned that nobody would reply, as she hadnt heard anything during the school holidays.  She neednt have worried, because as soon as Matthew went back to school people started to confirm their attendance, and by the end of the week we had 18 replies!  As it turned out, another child turned up that we werent expecting so we had 19 in total, including Matthew.

Everyone seemed to have fun and most of the children were well behaved - weve been to a few of these parties so knew what to expect, and it was well organised by the staff who laid on a buffet lunch and lit the candles on the Planes cake we had provided.  Apart from the food, the party just consisted of free play, which suited Matthew as there are plenty of activities at the centre.  I think Matthew was a bit shy when everyone sang "Happy Birthday", and I had to help him blow out the 5 candles (as did one of the other boys there).  He really enjoyed the party and had fun playing on the bouncy castle - it was nice to see him enjoy it since he used to be so reluctant to go on one. 

The advantage to having so many attend is that Matthew had loads of presents to take home, which he enjoyed opening.  People were very generous and Matthew had some great gifts, with many having a Spiderman theme.
