Happy Birthday Elsie!

Happy Birthday

(Elsie enjoyed her dairy free chocolate cookies!)
Today we celebrated with Elsie, we got up early and went to Banbury (Lucky Elsie!) It rained and was miserable but we had fun! Mummy went to waitrose to get some bits for cakes (and dairy free biscuits!) and Beau came and collected her from the shops, then we had some lunch, Elsie had a sleep and Mummy and Tils made her biscuits and a birthday cake!

Daddy and Beau got on with building the Pergola in our garden.
We went down to Bumble bees and met Ellie and Miasie and Olivia and Penny, it was so much fun and had a little cake each!

We came home and had a play, Then it was time for Granny and Pops to come round, we had some cake and Bubbles!

When Granny and Pops went home Emma came in and we all had a Indian takeaway...delish!
Mummy, Daddy, Emma and Beau played wii until the early hours!

Tils the builder...can you fix it? Yes you can!!!

I cant believe I have to do it all by myself!!!
Seperate the men from the boys Tils!!!

Helping Daddy!
Daddy and Mark 'claiming' to be working hard!!
The girls!

Whilst Mummy and her friends went out to lunch and shopping for Susie's birthday we were at home with Daddy and Mark building a wall!

***Although to be honest it looks as though they may have been taking advantage of the free child labour!!!***

Tilly Bowling

We took Tilly bowling for the first time on Sunday, we had so much fun and Tilly was very good! Unfortunatley it took a LONG time as They no longer allow children to use the ramps for help (for health and safety reasons.... but dropping an 8 lb ball on their feet is fine) So u can imagine we had to watch each ball roll and roll and roll and roll again at about 0.3 miles an hour, But it was really good fun!


Daddy showed Tils how to bowl...
Tils picks up the balll like a pro...More Miss Trunchball than Matilda me thinks!!!
Tils watches the ball Roll....
Tils does the I won dance!! WooooohoooBreak Dancin in celebration.... Can I get a woop woop...
More dancing!!!
Elsie is arm Dancing in a Jerry Springer stylee to celebrate .... ..Go Tilly Go Tillllleeee Go Tilly!!!

Whats in the board Miss Ford...
Daddy and Twiglet.

We went to Homebase on the way home and the girls were so good and sat beautifully, Tilly was such a good Big sister

We had had a really fun day but unfortunaltey when we returned home we got an awful phone call to tell us or Friend Richard had sadly been in an Aeroplane crash, and had died, We had heard about it on the radio as It had happened at about 2.30pm and we had the phone call by 4ish so we had seen pictures and heard all about it before we knew it was him, which was sad,we are obviously still very shocked and sad, Tom spent most of his family holidays with Richard and Phillipa and their daughters Chloe, sophie and Amy (He also went to school with Amy) we have seen them at some point over every christmas and Easter since Tom and I met and I also used to work for him, So we are devestated for Phillipa and the Girls.

NEWS FLASH!

Elsie just said 'Dada...'Everytime Daddy went out of the room! she has started to wave this week too...but her real triumph is her ability to shoulder dance in an 80's fashion to Phil Collins....Genius Child!

Christening!

Daddy, Mummy and Baby Elsie cutting the cake!

Thank you to everyone that travelled all the way to see us yesterday to celebrate the girls christening we had a wonderful day and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!!!

The service was wonderful - Although I think Mummy and Daddy's singing left alot to be desired!!! The girls were very well behaved and Tilly's only requirements were that the water did not go in her eyes!!!

The children we invited were all beautifully behaved and the little girls all looked like princesses! and every man I passed wanted to take Sam home...he is obviously a boys boy!!!...especially when he was drinking from the dogs bowl!

Matilda really did enjoy her special day and is very excited to be going to Brighton next weekend to celebrate Sam's christening...she is such a Hardcore P.A.R.T.Y girl ...Ummm, I think we choose the right Godmother for her in Michaela!!!
I think Elsie managed to sleep through most of the day!! A lthough I was soooo busy hobnobing I didn't pay much attention to the poor little one!

Gorgeous Jenny and Baby Elsie

I have just taken Matilda off to school now so I would imagine she will be shattered by home time and want an early night!!!

I was really rubbish and did not have a camera on me (Luckily Great Auntie Fiona was on hand to snap away...My family get abit snap happy!!!) anyone who may want to forward any photos to add to the blog or just show me please email them to me at kellet82@hotmail.com

Great Nanny Maureen and Baby Elsie !!! Fiona, with baby Elsie and Daisy(L to R) Dawn, Fiona, Jo, Jay & Grandma

We have decided to go back To Granny and Pops house to open the presents on wednesday night as the girls have been spoilt rotten and have so many I need to write a list as we open them and I thought if we transported them to the car we may lose Cards and not know who they are from so we are not being ungrateful we just want to spend some time looking at them and then I can send some Thank You cards out!

Thanks again to Granny, Pops, Grandma & Grandad and the wonderful and talented God Parents...Michaela, Julia, Emma (and special Auntie Katie) Tom, Beau, Christian and Charles (who due to Army commitments in Napal could not make it -Lucy was a wonderful stand in and we can't wairt to see you soon!!!)

It was great to see everyone we hope everyone had lots to eat and drink and that they arrived safely home - as we know some people got stuck on motorways with the snow.
Well thank you all soooooooo much and anyone reading this that could not make it missed a wonderful day!
