Holly's Birthday Party

After the excitement of a shetland pony ride, the kids settle down for a party tea.

Lucy has obviously missed a couple of her dainty eating classes. Perhaps she has been taking some eating cues from Toby.

Lucy offers Daddy a bite of her pizza.

What a brilliant birthday cake!

Holly blows out the candles

If Lucy thinks she is getting a pony for her birthday she would do well to set her sights a bit lower

Small Horse or Large Lucy?

Lucy has come to the Shetland Pony Club in Surrey for Holly's 5th Birthday Party. Lucy is introduced to Toffee.

To get the kids used to the ponies when they arrive they are given the chance to groom them. This is Honeybee

Lucy is loving the little fella.

As more kids arrive, Lucy takes charge. Honeybee is going to be better groomed than cousin Jonny going for a job interview.

Lucy is introduced to her pony for the day, Toby.

Toby checks Lucy out.

Mummy takes over leading Toby and Lucy on their trek. Toby requires a little bit on encouragement.

Toby relaxes a bit and they have a lovely stroll around the Surrey Meadows.

Toby stops for another quick snack.

Birthday girl Holly is also having an excellent time

Small horses, big fun

Happy Birthday Holly

Lucy and Holly at Kew

Lucy and Holly are at Climbers and Creapers in Kew Gardens. One of the services they offer is face painting. It appears another service is somewhere to park your bike.

Rather than her usual lion, Lucy has opted to be made up like a zebra.

It's not everyday that you see a zebra and a butterfly riding a snail.

Hope it doesn't go too fast.

Have they spotted Jeremy Fisher?

Shoulder rides all round.

Daddy and Marcus try to ignore the altercation going on above their heads.

Holly and Marcus take a self portrait.

Holly has learned how to subtly maximise her charms and present a sweet innocent face.

Lucy obviously needs a few more modeling lessons since she seems to be channelling both "cheeky" and "monkey"

Marcus always makes her laugh

Holly is making a great start on colouring in the picture

But Lucy think's it needs a bit more Lellow.

Chocolate Hedgehog Cake

Mummy has made a (pseudo) chocolate hedgehog cake for Lucy's birthday. At first she has a tentative bite.

Yup. That works. Nom nom nom nom.

Holly is slightly more demure when it comes to scoffing chocolate hedgehogs.

Easter Egg Hunt

Mummy has organised an Easter Egg hunt for all the little kids at Lucy's party. She even hand made bunny ears for everyone. Jerome doesn't want to disturb his quiff so Solene wears his ears.

Lucy has found an egg.

Looks like Aunty Pink is trying to muscle in on the egg hunt by donning some ears and hiding behind Holly.

Jerome, Lucy and Holly tuck into the chocolate.

And here comes Milly to make sure she isn't missing out on the good stuff.

Bockett's Farm with Holly

It's a cold day at Bockett's farm. Marcus, Holly and Lucy are all wrapped up warm as they wait for the pig racing to start.

Lucy and Marcus have a laugh.

The inevitable picture on a tractor

Lucy feeds a Llama

Holly swoops down the medium pipe slide.

Lucy is very brave on goes down the biggest pipe slide. She is laughing like a hyena by the time she gets to the bottom.
