It was Isabelle's 5th birthday on Friday 1st May 2009. I can't believe that my baby girl is already 5 years old!! We decided that because she started school this year and has alot of good friends, that she could have a fairly large party at the chapel. So we invited 15 of her school and church friends for the afternoon at the church. We went with an animal theme as it was suitable for girls and boys.
Lee did face painting, I did games, my mum and Lee's mum helped with the food and my dad sorted out the music and a DVD. We had classic party games like musical statues, pin the tail on the donkey and duck, duck, goose, and also activities such as cookie decorating and colouring in animal masks. Then the kids had classic party food which they all loved!
The birthday cake was a ladybird and Lee and I had been up till 10:30 the night before finishing it!! But I believe it was worth it!!

This is Isabelle and Grandad Purser just before the party started! She was so excited all day so it was really hard to get her to sit still for a picture!!

Here are some pictures of the kids all enjoying the food!

The birthday girl on the head table!! She was so funny and the perfect hostess for her friends!!

Some more of her friends with their faces painted! They loved this and Lee was in demand!

Fun was had by all and Isabelle was so lucky and had some lovely presents from her friends!! We all collapsed in a heap at the end of the day and lived off party food leftovers for the next couple of days!! Thats it for another year!!
