So our biggest wonder is 8 years old tomorrow! The only thing to really say is WOW, and keep on enjoying the ride as she grows and changes and surprises us again and again. Our amazing, big little person.
Yesterday was the big day for having her friends over, and we repeated the success of last year (with the same excellent weather!) of hosting the party outside only. It is the stress-free and healthy way of throwing a party if you ask me; no need to clean the house (before or after!), and the kids can run and shout and go crazy as they please. We make a bonfire, grill sausages/ marshmallows/ bread dough, drink hot choc, have a combined treasure hunt/ nature quiz, play hide and seek on the farm and generally enjoy the fun of a good old day out.
Ronja happily said that It's the best birthday party I've ever had! when it was over, and nothing pleases a mummy's heart more than that.
Photos by me except for the one of the girls in the woods by my friend Eli. :)
