Daisy's birthday BBQ

We had a small BBQ today and obviously left it to the last minute and only managed to round up Lucy, Gordon and Lex, to come over and join us, but in actual fact as we suspected it was so so nice to keep it small.
My mum told me that you should only invite as many friends as their age including themselves, so Daisy had herself, her friend Lex and there was room for one more, but hey, her little sister would have to do.

This was Daisy's birthday cake, it was a Madeira cake taken from Nigella, and it actually tasted very nice, but our oven is rather powerful and i keep forgetting to adjust the time and heat accordingly so some cakes come out slightly singed around the edges but fine inside.
Oh and that's a pink dollop of butter icing in the middle and then the girls had more butter icing and sprinkles to decorate their slices with.


Here they are in their pretty dresses.













They are actually shouting 'sausages', which is something i make children say for some reason when i'm about to take their photograph, it tends to make them smile or even better laugh, but Daisy and Lex like to shout.



Actually if your wondering where Iris is in these photo's / video's she was probably asleep.


Here you can see just how bossy Daisy can be to her good friend Lex.
Lex has quite obligingly started copying Daisy in singing 'happy birthday to me' but Daisy has picked up on it and is just making sure that everyone knows exactly who's birthday it is.
