...and this photo of me and Ira that Daddy took just before we left
Then it was time to set off for school. We played eye spy and Ira and I ran a lot of the way. When I arrived, Mummy took me into the classroom with Ira too. They waited until I'd settled and seen my friend Anjoshna and then Mummy and Daddy gave me a hug goodbye and Ira gave me a squeeze!

The sun was shining, all of my friends were there.. and so was a pony! 
I've never ridden on a pony before...
...and I loved it!
We played on the grass...
..and hunted for gold chocolate coins
We had picnic lunch boxes
Followed by fairy cakes, pink wafers and party rings
Mummy made and decorated a Brave cake for me
Merida's dress and all of the little creatures were made out of sugar and the woods were made out of buttercream
I wish they'd hurry up and light my birthday candles 
Finally.. Daddy lit the candles and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me
It made me feel very happy...
...and I blew out the candles
I went to show Grandma Kay Merida's sugar dress
My friends posed for a photograph and then Mummy gave them party bags with rainbow crayons and sweeties and a piece of my cake to take home
After my friends left, I wanted to open some of my presents
Mummy said I could open the presents from Grandma and Grandad and my cousins so they could watch me open them
And then we got a big family photo, where everyone looked happy in the sunshine
Ira and I gave baby Luna a cuddle...
..and we went to play in the fields next to the wood until it was time for dinner.
What a brilliant day (and a gorgeous photo of me by Grandad Mel)
