Elise's 4th Birthday

Above is a thank you for Elise's birthday with a slideshow of some photos of some of the games and her cake. Can't believe she is so grown up! Elise had a wonderful time. She has been telling everyone for so long about her birthday and turning 4, she was so excited. Thank you so much for the presents and the well wishes.
Tonight at dinner she said "mum, for my 6 birthday..." She knows she can have a party again when she is 6. Of course we had a great time too but Sean and I need a while to recover!

She got a new bike for her birthday- Tinkerbell, of course and loves riding it to the dog park. We also made her a special fairy garden and she and Gisele go and have a chat to Clarabel (named by Elise) and her friends - so cute!

We have to share a funny photo with you. While I was at the fair trade market yesterday at Manly, Sean was looking after the girls for the day. He couldn't find Gisele. He was looking around the house and calling out to her with no answer. Eventually he spotted her in the kitchen , grinning and very amused with herself, perched up on the side cabinet holding the vase of flowers like an ornament. What a funny chicken!!

Hard to believe it is almost December. I have been super busy with Every Little Girl. It is a peak time for fair trade markets as well as all the fun of pre-christmas catch ups!
Megsy, Nate and Nige are coming to Sydney for christmas so we are looking forward to having them stay with us. Gisele told Meg on the phone today that she and Nate can eat rice cakes when they come to stay....mmm yum yum!

Family Photo

Here are the recent family photos we had taken at Elise's preschool. The girls look very sweet. So rare to get them looking and smiling together.

Nova came along for a photo too- impossible to get her to smile?!
How fast they grow *sigh*!
