"birthday" party

As Rose's friends are going to be away for her birthday in July we decided to throw her a party before they left. It was fun but felt a bit strange. We started with swimming which was a good move as we didn't have to 'entertain' them and they weren't so wild when they got to the playground. Bonnie came to help and Betsy came and joined us too which was really helpful. We chose to do healthy snacks and Rose has asked for a pyramid cake. We did pass the parcel, Rose opened presents and we were all done.
