Today it's my birthday! I'm six today. I've been so excited about it for a week now.

It's Saturday so I decided not to wake up Mummy & Daddy straight away but instead went to the red guest room and watched some TV. Then I came down and got to open family presents. I got presents from Mummy & Daddy (some real art supplies and other fun things) and presents from Australia too - my grandparents and Aunty Jude & Uncle Mike.

After a bit of breakfast, off we went to drama class, my usual thing for Saturday morning. Normally I go to gym class after that, but since we had a big day planned, we all decided I'd skip it. I played with the Wii game that I got from Grandpa Shiv with Daddy and had a bit of lunch.

My birthday party was at WiiiBounce, a fun place that has both large inflatables (like jumping castles but a large slide, an obstacle course and a basketball court) and a lot of Nintendo Wii games. It was really fun, and I had about 20 of my friends join me there. Even some of the grownups (like Daddy) got into the jumping. We had cake and stuff afterwards. I was even given a t-shirt with my own Mii character on it from our Wii at home. Very cool!

Then we came home (Katie came home with us) and we unwrapped all my cool presents. I got so many!

After presents, we started getting ready for trick or treat. My birthday's on Halloween, you know. Daddy put out all the luminaries on the driveway to attract all the kids that were out and about. I was a witch this year - a black witches outfit with orange edging, complete with a black witches hat and a straw broom. Katie and I went out to do some of the houses in our street. Mummy also went with me while Daddy stayed at the house to offer candy to other treaters.

Afterwards, we all sat on the steps to our front door and entertained Ken and Jean who came over for a glass of champagne. Our friends Mary Kathryn and Jonathan came over later too. The last of the trick-or-treaters came around about 9pm or so, but we were chatting on the steps and having drinks so we were in no hurry.

It was a good evening indeed. Daddy went to bed about 10:30 but I didn't go to bed till after midnight!
