My youngest niece turns one.

Absolutely amazing cake scupture weighing around 20kgs. Thats a lot of icing!

It was a good day with no travel dilemnas and a fun party.

Hats and strong winds

I made the Vintage Bonnet for a christening gift for my youngest niece. Her big sister wanted it so I told her I would make her one. Last night with the strong winds I found it hard to sleep so I crocheted. I made 3 hats. A shell hat similar to the vintage bonnet and 2 butterfly hats. One is for my daughter.

Maddy's christening

My niece had her Christening on Sunday.



We found a place to stay with many beds, one room....
We stayed in Wangaratta on Saturday night.

Birthday Party

Went to Wangaratta for my niece's 2nd birthday party.



My sister in law made the birthday cake. It was a Wiggles theme.

Meeting our newest family member

We hired a van so we could all go to Wangaratta meet my niece. My Mum also came with us as it was an 8 seater.
The best air con on another sweltering 40 degree+ day.


My niece is absolutely adorable.


The kids enjoyed playing with toys and we kept cool.



We even had a cake and everyone sang me Happy Birthday! The kids each had a cupcake and blew out candle too.



The cousins together....



With 3 cameras on them, we tried to capture the cousins together.


I think the kids were very patient to allow a picture with bub crying. You can see J worrying too.



We left in the evening and had to stop three times. (We usually don't stop unless hubby needs a powernap. 2.5hour drive). J was screaming which was very unusual for him. Had a cuddle and feed. Then about halfway Av was crying because he was cold! And needed the toilet. Just as we were almost home my eldest son was busting so much he flew out the door and fell to the ground before heading to a tree!

Introducing my niece

My brother and his wife welcomed their second daughter at 2:30pm

I look forward to meeting her.
