Well yesterday was Krystal's birthday and what a packed day it was!  We had to wake her early so she had time to open presents as school went back yesterday.  She took FOREVER to open them all and then had to rush to get ready!   (She wants me to put ALL the present photos on, so here goes!)

                       "I am 4" tshirt                                          Earrings with gems in them

Sparkly letters for her door

            Sleeping Beauty bowl and plate                                  Butterfly Lights

                 Rapunzel pyjamas                                          Tiana Doll excitement!

            Baby for the Wii (it's so cool!)                                           Books

At nursery she had an assembly where the whole school sang happy birthday to her (and a couple of others) which she loved and they did a cake too. 

After nursey Krystal had a quick lunch and then on to rising 5's.  I did a quick run round asda and then it was time to collect Kory!  We came home, had a yummy snack and headed in to town to meet up with James.

Krystal had chosen to go to Pizza Hut for her treat dinner, and boy did she eat!  She ordered a face pizza and a huge salad bowl and ate almost all of it!  Being 4 must be hard work! 

Unfortunately, as there was school again today there was no staying up late or anything, so it was home to bed! 

She had a great day and loved her presents - she was spoilt rotten!

Believing Kory was 6 was hard, but that my wee baby girl is 4 is even harder (and no don't get excited, that does NOT mean I want another baby!)  Here she is on her birthday each year.

Today Krystal had a few friends round to celebrate her birthday next week.  I decided to do it in the Easter holidays for easiness.  The kids were all really really well behaved, the mums were too!  It's a whole new group of friends neither of us knew before she went to nursery which is really nice.

Today was Kory's party.  He had chosen to have a crazy golf party at Congo (a rainforest themed place) with a few of his friends.  So at 10am we headed down the beach, got the kids into 3 teams and off we went for a round.  Considering there were 11 kids, it was a lot less chaotic than I had expected it to be. 

I forgot to take photos on the way round, and only managed to get them to stand still long enough for one at the end!   Next it was time to go upstairs for some colouring in, some food and ice cream and of course birthday cake! 

The kids all seemed to have a great time, and when we got home, Kory got stuck into the presents he got for from his friends....

I think it's fair to say he's had a busy and enjoyable weekend turning 6!

P.S. For Coral & Chad - here's photos of Kory in his space suits you got him

Yesterday was my birthday and now I am 6.  I thought I might have got up in the morning a bit taller, but I didn't.  However, when I got up there were banners and balloons all over the place which I didn't expect as Mummy told me she forgot to buy some.  She's sneaky.

I put on my birthday boy badge and then started to open my presents.  I got a drawing pad for the wii, a DS game, money, lots of books, games and clothes.  Here is me opening some of them and reading all my cards now I can read....

I had my swimming lesson at 10:30 - my last one at the place I have been going to for a year.  I've enjoyed it recently but am starting new ones at a different pool.

After swimming we came home, had lunch and yummy fudge donuts Mummy had bought.  Then I got to play with all my new things before getting ready to go out at night. 

I chose to go to an italian called Prezzo for my birthday meal which was very yummy.  I even got a wee bit of Daddy's beer! 

Krystal was in a silly mood when we were there, Mummy was trying to take a nice photo of me, but when we saw it afterwards, she was making silly faces in the background! 

By the time we got home it was late, so we had to go to bed as today is my party day.  Mummy will tell you all about it later on.

Night night
Love
Kory

Today was Kory's 6th birthday, we've had a lovely day (for another entry) but I thought I'd show where he's come from to where he is now all in one entry.

One of the things Kory asked for this year was to be a bit taller or to grow.  The observant amongst you might have noticed that in the 2009 and 2011 photos, Kory is wearing the same shirt.  So looks like his wish didn't happen!  (I had no idea he'd had the shirt so long, nor that he'd worn on a previous birthday until I was going through the photos, what are the chances?  He has loads of shirts!)

I can't believe my wee boy is 6!  He's as much fun and as fab as he was back then too, and getting smarter by the day - nothing gets past him!

Today was a busy day.  Kory had his swimming lesson in the morning, a party in the afternoon and then we headed out to Disney on Ice at teatime.  We'd bought the tickets months ago as a birthday treat for Kory, but not told them.  In fact we didn't tell them until we arrived tonight! 

The show had loads of characters in it.  The obvious Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy & Pluto, but also Toy Story ones, The Incredibles, Snow White & Cinderella, Malificent from Sleeping Beauty as the baddy and Chip 'n' Dale.  Here's the photos....
