Emma had a pile of wrapped presents ready for when Poppy got up yesterday morning, with some balloons adorning them. Poppy saw them, said "Wow, amazing" and ran towards them shouting, "balloons, balloons"!!! Its the old saying isn`t it, give a child an expensive present in a large cardboard box, and they will play with the box!
We arrived to join the birthday lunch to find that the others were already there, I put the hedgehog cake that I had made in the kitchen and Poppy spotted it straight away, "Ooh, hedgehog, asleep"! Poppy was very excited as she had received a few My Little Pony toys, and if she has a favourite it is horses! Some of them had arrived all the way from Australia from Aunty Kim and I was immediately handed one of them as soon as I walked in through the door. She could hardly get her words out with excitement, telling me all about them. She was very pleased with them, so thankyou Aunty Kim. x
She opened a couple of presents with her Mommy before turning her attention once again to the balloons, throwing them up in the air and batting them towards everybody, which she thought very funny. Emma was in the kitchen preparing the buffet so I went to see if I could lend a hand, she was almost finished with her preparation so I did the tuna mayo and poured some crisps into bowls. Poppy sat on her booster seat at the table and cousins Connor and Harry sat with her, all chomping happily on pizza, salad and a variety of other things. She could see her hedgehog cake behind her on the kitchen counter and wanted some, so Emma put her candles on it eventually and Lee rushed in with the camera to take photos of her blowing out the candles. We all sang happy birthday to Poppy, with Poppy joining in and singing along happily, Poppy just loves to sing!
When we had finished eating Emma carried on helping Poppy to open her presents, with Poppy stopping every few minutes to play with those balloons again! It took until about 5pm to finish opening everything! She is a very lucky little girl and had a lot of beautiful presents and cards. She was thrilled with the hobby horse which neighs, whinnies and makes galloping noises when you press its ear and was `riding` it around the house. Her ponies all had to sit in a group on the rug and have a tea party with her new tea set and she wanted to read the My Little Pony books the minute she opened them.
We left about 5pm as our dogs had been on their own and we needed to let them out and later on in the evening Lee sent me a photograph of Poppy wearing her new dressing gown and nightdress to keep her cosy and warm following her bath, she was all ready for bed.
Thank you to everybody who sent Poppy birthday wishes, she had some lovely presents which she was very pleased with, and for which her Mummy and Daddy were very grateful, she is a lucky little girl.
