I never had parties as a kid (I know boo hoo me LOL) so I like to do them every so often! We tend to always have a gathering of some description mostly because I love to make a character cake! Which I've done every year this far. Her first was a ladybird, her 2nd was treelo, her 3rd was a castle, and last year was a belle (disney) ice cream cake. Its funny I haven't even started to think about this year LOL normally I'm a year ahead of myself...

But this year as parties go we are going to go to a playcentre with all her friends from Kinder because it will be her last kinder year, so there will be ALOT of kids!

Next year I'll probably let her do something small but I'm not sure what. But the older she gets I'll probably start suggesting asking a few friends out to dinner and a movie instead of a big party and then maybe having lunch or dinner with family.

There are sooooooo many things you can do these days with kids. We went to a gourmet kids party recently where all the kids got to cook something. There's disco parties, make over parties, gym parties, reptile parties (where you invite the reptile guy and he brings out animals etc). Its just no way near as simple as it used to be LOL! But no matter what happens and who we do stuff will I want to make sure I always make her a cake As that was something I didn't often get when I was a kid
