If you click through, you'll be able to see the books from all the ages. I highly, highly recommend all of them - they've been a huge help to us through the years. I bought the first one at age 2! And the best is they're short so you can easily read it in two hours (helpful for D who is not a fan of non-fiction).
Anyway, here are some pics of us on their actual birthday. I was so pleased that I insisted because they were the only pics I took that day.

We had separate birthday parties for them - Kendra's on the Friday and Connor's on the Saturday.
We were knackered but both kids had exactly the experience they wanted: K - small, intimate, girls-only, and C - lots of noisy boys!
I'm of two minds if we'll do it the same next year. On the one hand, they both loved it but I prefer D around to help so I can take photos and such. And, as I say, we were exhausted.
D wants them to spread out the parties more like one one weekend and the other two weeks later :)
Anyway, we have a whole 50 weeks to decide on the game plan for when they turn 9!
I will say this - K asked for books for her birthday which was an excellent idea so she got 6 new Enid Blytons and is in heaven!!!
What's going on in your life? What's been happening the last two weeks?
PS I will post about the holiday next :)
