Joanna's 5th birthday

Was a few weeks ago now... and since then, we've had at least someone in the house sick.  Ben was first, then Joanna, then Mel, then Naomi, then Joanna again, then... well, today it's Joanna's turn to be home sick.
Anyway, we haven't got around to uploading details of her party and other birthday celebrations (which, thankfully, was before the merry-go-round of sickness).  First up, on the Friday before her birthday, she had her "kindy birthday", where they get to sit up the front and everyone gets to see pictures from their time at kindy and play a game and sing happy birthday.  Looking through the photos, Joanna really has changed in that time!
Then, on Saturday, she had her party.  It was a "chef" party, with all the kids getting to cook their own lunch (pizzas and salad) and decorate cupcakes.  They all had lots of fun and enjoyed wearing their aprons and playing with the play kitchen as well as the real cooking.
Sunday, her actual birthday, was a calmer day, going to church in the morning, then opening presents in the afternoon before special birthday dinner - she chose to have chicken, mashed potato and peas.
