Isaac Turns 5!

Today we celebrated Isaac turning 5 with a brunch garden party with lots of his friends!

Louie's Lego Party

Today we celebrated Louie turning 6 with a few of his closest school friends. Louie had decided many many months ago that he wanted to have a Lego party with his friends, all he wanted to do was to play Lego!! We decided to have the party at Nana's so that there was a bit more space for the littles to spread out and enjoy themselves, and a little more space for us adults too!

Whilst all the kids were playing and the adults were happy with their cups of tea (and/or beer!) I was stationed in the kitchen making pizza from scratch! We decided as it was a tea time party to ditch the traditional party food and make pizzas for the kids instead.

There was pizza, jelly and ice cream and then a little bit more playing before it was time to bring out the amazing Lego cake made by my amazingly talented sister.

Louie had a wonderful time, doing exactly as he wanted, so a big big thank you to everyone who came along :)

Birthday BBQ

It's that time of year again, that we celebrate my Mum's birthday. In previous years, we have had quiet days out and parties but this year, I assembled my brother and sister and we arranged a little get together in one of our local country parks.

There were 13 of us in total, well 14 if you include little Jet, we set up three barbeques and the men made some delicious BBQ grub for us!

And we finally, finally got everyone together for a family photo, something that we have never managed organise!! 

Happy Birthday Mother Hen! It was a fantastic day!
