Busy.......

( I won a pattern from Toni at Make It Pefect and this is my first attempt at making it. I made a little belt to match)




We have been so busy the last month. We had been preparing for a Birthday party, a flight to Hobart and Christmas. I had to make lists every day so I did not forget anything! The kids also had a huge few weeks also. One day we found Scarlett asleep on the couch before dinner. Everyone had a wonderful time at Scarlett's Party on the 13th. It was pretty hot but we survived and had lots of yummy food, face painting, bubbles and playing. It was so funny how all the children quickly surrounded the table as the birthday cake came out! I was so lucky it kind of turned out ok. The night before I was wishing I had bought a cake! So... ...I have kind of crashed since being on holiday and feel a little run down. I have plenty to share and am hoping to keep everyone updated within the next week........HOPING!

Intermingling

Christmas & Birthday

My birthday is at the same time of year that all the Christmas decorations traditionally go up. Very exciting stuff! Our poor old Christmas tree went up slightly early. We were given this tree a few years ago and are now realising why! We began by putting on our purple, green and silver balls.... hmmm..... didn't look quite right. What was wrong with our tree? Just not bushy enough. We soon solved the bushiness problem with a little silver tinsel. I took Scarlett and Ollie to Myer to choose a special decoration each for the Christmas tree. Guess which one Scarlett chose.... yep you got it, the PINK one. Scarlett chose the bird for Ollie. My kind friend Melissa had some spare baubles that she donated to our tree along with an incredible surprise birthday present which consisted of beautiful blue and spotted baubles and a little Christmas tree a ornament. THANK YOU!!








It was a bit of a bummer that Nick was away in Melbourne for my birthday! Aunty Puddy saved the day! Scarlett and Puddy made me Birthday desert...YUM!



Nick sent these beautiful flowers
