The social event of the season!

 Tristan's 4th birthday party with the unusual combination of pirate and magic!

We hired a hall for the first time and it certainly made it easier for clearing up - although things like forgetting milk and sugar until we offered everyone tea wouldn't have been such an issue!

This was the cake.Tristan loved it but during the early making stages kept saying "when will it look more like a pirate ship" ( I tried to explain that a treasure chest being squarer was much more within mummy's capabilities!

...and Tristan blowing our the candles.

 We had a magician which kept the pressure off us for Sam looking after and sorting out food (and the aforementioned cups of tea!).

Tristan loved being the centre of attention and 'breaking' all the wands

and playing games with his friends.
