Eloise's 6th birthday had a butterfly theme.  Among her presents was a butterfly outfit, a green skirt and white top with emboidered butterflies, and a liitle butterfly bag.  The skirt was a bit too big, but was one of Eloise's favouites for a long time, it started out a wee bit too long and she only stopped wearing  it when eventually a wee bit too short.  We went to a Butterfly House, in Syon ParK. It was a low key and relaxed birthday treat, just the five of us.  The butterflies were so pretty and we were surrounded by them, fluttering around and landing on us.  Eloise was fascinated with the crysallises, caterpillars and butterflies.  I have fond memories of that birthday, and for a change we had a beautiful sunny day.
