Katie's Party

We have had a busy, fun afternoon/evening having Katie's birthday party. It was a pot luck dinner, held at church, for her and two friends who also have birthdays this month. In the end there were about 30 girls (and one brother), plus the 3 sets of parents.

There were a few games (like stomping on balloons which are tied to peoples ankles - the last one with a 'live' balloon on their ankle wins), and a movie on the big screen. The movie was Stranger than Fiction and was very good. The parents watched it too.

The food worked out well - plenty without having miles left over. Bern made a meat curry and I did a vego one, and we have enough left for our lunches on Monday (ha ha). There were three cakes too and lots of candles. I had made a Bonnie's Chocolate (and banana) Cake (some of you will know who Bonnie is) in a 12" tin. Half was left over so that will do for our church lunch contribution tomorrow.

Nice to meet some of the parents of Katie's friends. This doesn't happen so often nowadays as teenages don't seem to 'come over to play after school' so much!
