- Waking up early.
- Baking cheese stars and mini banana muffins.
- Madly tidying the house.
- Wrapping presents.
- Icing cupcakes.
- Running out of icing half way through and having to dash to Spar for extra butter and icing sugar.
- Icing more cupcakes.
- Eating Thai food.
- Laughing at how much Izzy loves green curry. She slurps the sauce with a spoon like it’s soup!
- Feeling too tired to give myself a manicure.
- Collapsing into bed.
- Waking up to Jesse’s huge grin and cute baby gurgles. I love being a mum.
- Sleepily singing happy birthday.
- Keeping up a long running family tradition by playing Altered Images as Jesse came down to open his presents.
- Putting up decorations and getting the bubble machine going in the garden.
- Thinking about what I was doing this time last year.
- Hurriedly getting dressed and doing my make-up.
- Loving Revlon Cherries In The Snow lipstick, new shoes and seamed stockings.
- Hugging old friends.
- Showing off the children.
- Eating party food.
- Singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and helping Jesse blow out his candles.
- Posing for a million photographs.
- Laughing out loud at the sight of Jesse demolishing a cupcake.
- Opening birthday presents with Jesse.
- Wondering what our friends were thinking when they bought us a pop-up ball pond complete with 250 balls. The kids adore it but it takes up most of the playroom. That said it did play a part in my favourite photo from the whole day…
- Wishing my best friend didn’t have to go back to London.
- Embarking on a major clean-up session.
- Pouring myself a glass of wine and ordering pizza.
- Collapsing on the sofa.
