so the little man in our house
turned 4 on saturday
& we love him so very much
celebrated with a party theme of
castles
knights
& dragons
the noble princesses, knights & squires whom
he 'plays with' joined our celebratory crusade
he 'plays with' joined our celebratory crusade
courtly attire was requested
the champions prepared
the bunting flags were flying inside & out
the tournament was arranged
there was knightly quest for great treasure
trumpets heralded
crowns were decorated
shields were created & foil covered
musical 'thrones' was played
(& no one missed out!)
we didn't have a round table but
we did play with a round parachute!
ring a ring a rosie was danced!
(after all its supposed to be about the black plague hey!)

very
very
excited ....
a castle cake was requested
a castle cake was requested
& so it was done
loved making it
components .... many many tim tams
malteasers, two types of chocolate cakes
a gingerbread draw bridge
icey blue jelly, 16 lego mini figures knights
& one green dragon
his dragon costume
hoodie idea found somewhere on google images
can't find the original blog i spotted it on
but have since seen many versions
my variation was to lightly stuff
the spikes
love it so much
knew the moment i set my eyes on it
i had to make one ...
wish we had the snow to pose in!!
which i've again made a variation on
... stuffing the spikes ...
& now of course it is completely
a dragon's tail hey!
we missed you Roma & KPa
but glad you were doing castle-y things too!
did you see the Happy Birthday Oscar
banner ?? I made this for his first birthday
& each year I make the appropriate number tag to insert!
had to use some of the fabric from his dragon costume for the 4th!

Best Cake Ever!!
Thanks for a lovely time - my little Princess thoroughly enjoyed herself.
Very clever way you have done the birthday bunting too.
what a lovely idea to add a new number to the banner each year - it will be so special if you are able to include scraps from a special costume, etc each year. what a wonderful family tradition you have started :)
Oh, Wendy! What a fabulous party!!!!! Loving all the flags and bunting...you have been busy! Looking fwd to seeing you real soon!!! xxx
