My lil boy is 4

Actually - it's tomorrow but as he's had his birthday party, he's 4.

Here he is enjoying his party. I should have made a bit more of an effort making food and decorations but I don't think the kids minded. They had a fab time and the house wasn't too thrashed. All in all a success.

But I also just want to point out this cute little number which Keira has on. (I know it's a bit small but I only just found it when I was in KL in Oct, so felt like I had to let her wear it!) It a real vintage item, from 1972 or 1973 . It was mine when I was her age. It was purchased by my grandfather on one of his trips to the UK. It's from St Michael's (Marks and Spencer) and its made in 100% Orlon. I just love it - throw on some white boots and you're good to go.
Ps - i might just have to find/design a pattern for something similar!

Happy Birthday to your little Man. What a great big brother! I love Keira's dress. White go-go boots are a must with that outfit, or a nice pair of white ice skates. Watch out Michelle Kwan!

Happy Birthday Aidan! His cake looks fantastic.

I have a vintage dress pattern that's quite similar, although not quite as cool that you may be able to use or adapt. Send me an email to froginknots at gmail dot com and I'll scan it in and email it to you.

I forgot to mention how sweet she looks in it.

Happy birthday to Aidan! His cake is very cute!
The vintage dress is adorable on Keira. I have a Japanese embroidered blouse from my childhood but have no daughters to pass on.
