Happy Birthday Sophie

Today my little girl turned 4!

She enjoyed opening her presents this morning, especially her new dolls house. She also spent an entire day at childcare filled with fun, laughter & lots of games. The kids really enjoyed the cupcakes and even left me a little note:

"Thank you very much! Yum! Love all the children".

Tonight we spent a lovely evening out at Fish 349 in North Hobart with my mum (Gran to the girls) - yummy food, a few glasses of wine, stories & laughter.

Tomorrow brings swimming lessons, coffee, home to make honey joys & tiny teddy cars and then afternoon tea & birthday cake - yum!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and keeps warm (it's cold here in Hobart!).

My Creative Space ....

Lots going on around here at the moment, and not a lot as well! I have so much to do but can't seem to decide what is more important.

But seeing as we have a birthday in our family tomorrow my mind & creativeness has been focussed on that.

My "little girl" is turning 4, so I have been busy baking cupcakes for her to take to childcare.

Lovely pink cupcake goodness!

And I am about to set up her main birthday present (from Mummy, Daddy, Big Sister Em & Gran) - The Sweetheart Cottage! I am so excited as I just love wooden toys and I know Sophie will just adore this dolls house. It comes complete with furniture and I also bought a family set of 4 people to live in the house. I never had a lovely dolls house like this when I was a girl, so I'm so glad to be able to give one to my daughter for her to enjoy. I'm sure her big sister will love it too!

Happy Birthday Little Princess

Well today marks the occasion of my youngest's 3rd Birthday. I can't really believe it. The strange thing is that I also woke this morning at exactly the same time as she was born - freaky!

Anyway, we've had a lovely day, which was actually preceeded by a family birthday dinner for my niece last night, who turned 11. The kids (all 4 of them - 3 girls & 1 boy), were up until around 9:30pm last night, so I knew today would be trying.

We had present opening this morning, followed by a rushed breakfast before heading out the door to take my eldest to school. Sophie & I then went to Thursday morning Kindermusik class, where they all sang happy birthday. We then went and had a lovely coffee and cake with Gran (my mum).

Then we rushed back home to pick up my hubbie, so the 3 of us could go and have our haircut - a bit overdue! After having her haircut, Sophie also had her nails painted a lovely pearlescent pink - nothing like a girly day out to the hairdressers (even if dad comes as well). She was very excited about her haircut and nails being painted, and even posed for some photos.

Tonight I am cooking cupcakes, to take to childcare tomorrow and we will also be having a small afternoon tea party for her and some friends on Saturday afternoon.

Happy Birthday Sophie! xoxox
