We've just got back from the Whacky-Warehouse playbarn / pub where we had Liam's Birthday Party (5) with all of his class.
Lot's of fun for all the kids, Liam was bit overwhelmed with the attention but enjoyed it (esp. the presents that he's just been opening).
Ah, it's great to be normal and see the kids joining in
BTW: No righteous servants of the most high god Jehovah were beheaded or otherwise harmed as part of this event. [8>]
WooHoo!!!! Happy Birthday to Liam! It is 'most excellent' to watch children who are allowed to be children. Did you get lots of pics Simon?
hugs,

Good for Liam! My daughter had her first birthday celebration (age 3) last December. She too was overwhelmed, but gamely managed to open all her presents. I have the still pictures and also the pictures on disk which I show her often in a "slide show" format -- she loves the memories, often asking to see those pictures, and asking when her next birthday is....

happy birthday to liam! how fun for him :) kids being kids, it's such a great thing eh?
Happy Birthday to Liam!
So glad your boy has gotten to experience such a fun event! It's great to build such wonderful memories.

Glad you had a great time Simon - yes it is a wonderful thing to be normal. For ones that never celebrated birthdays as a kid, I think we can get so much vicarious enjoyment through the pleasure such events hold for our children. I think such events must be quite healing. Birthdays for kids and parents can be such joyous moments to savour - to think witnesses withhold them for being idolatrous - it seems completely absurd to me now but even as as a witness I never quite bought their reasons for not celebrating. Hell - did anyone in their heart really buy their explaination? I used it so many times as a kid and always felt embarrassed at how weak it was.
Have a great day.
Well done, Simon!
Of course, as you get older, you tend to avoid anywhere that caters for kids. Not that I mind them too much, I just couldn't eat a whole one.

Happy Birthday Liam!
I am so happy to be able to raise my children celebrating holidays and birthdays! I can't imagine life without them now!
