Can't believe that our baby is 8!!! How the flipping heck did that happen - I'm sure I only managed 2 sleeps and now she is 8! The birthday celebrations started on Saturday when she had a horse riding party. Now this was a bit of come down as originally Ellie has wanted horse riding in the morning, swimming in the afternoon, followed by the pictures and Frankie and Bennys! How I love her vivid imagination. Anyway, "just" horse riding it was with a McD's to follow, then home for games.... I know we must be mad. Ellie and five of her friends had a whale of a time hacking out in Romsley. Only one child (D) managed to fall off though it was cushioned by the sand in the arena. It is lovely to see what a wonderful young girl Ellie is. Her love for Gem her favourite horse is clear to see - if only the budget allowed then I know that would be the horse she would want.
