Saturday August 4th 2007 at 6pm was Emma's party to celebrate her 8th Birthday.
Alan and Emily were a little late, Peter and Rachel were later, John's mum and dad were reasonably on time and Dave was a half hour early and had helped Emma to finish most of the sweets before the others had arrived.
Emma had all her new toys lined up on display and seemed incredibly happy with them all. Dave added a fairy playset to the collection, Alan and Emily came in with a pair of fairies and Peter and Rachel had a fairy Bratz horse to deliver, which went rather well with her new fairy Bratz doll. There seemed to be some kind of common theme, but Dave couldn't put his finger on it. Strangely, they had all chosen their gifts independently.
After a few hours of sweets, chit chat, a crazy 8-year old and some wrestling videos which made everyone realise their age, Dave got a lift from Alan back home. It was a lovely day.
A little later he recieved a text:
"Daved thak yow foor my presents lovv emma"
"Happy Birthday Emma. Hope you had a great one."

I am a bit sad when reading this entry. Still can remember science novels i read in that kind of age. Never really into toys all my life. Don't know if it's the reason why being critical about dolls.
Choose something meaningful or palyful. You can't win, can you?
