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!

Bouncing in the sunshine!

Today we went over to Katie and Alice's house to bounce on their trampoline in the sunshine - it was wonderful to see our friends and Olivia and Penny were there too! The girls all dressed up as Fairies and princesses, It was sunny but it was quite cold and did rain alittle bit now and again!

All playing (Alice's rules???!)

Matilda dressed as a bee with a toy medical case, plucking Mummy's Eye brows with the plastic tweezers...Soooo her Mother's Daughter!!!

Bumble bees......

You are not allowed to take Photographs in Bumble bees so I asked for permission to get some piccies when Tils had her cake, The children were shattered by that point...She was sooooo hot and bothered! So they are not the best pictures! And the Cake had subsided some what, Matilda had requested 'a sweetie pie cake... abit like Bob's Birthday cake but with marshmellows,'...what a tall order!!!!I made it using as much chocolate and marshmellow fluff as I could muster!...Its not as professional as Bob's but it tasted great!

More presents....
Thank you so much for coming and for all the very generous gifts, We all had a wonderful time!
Sorry there are not more photos but this is all they would allow me to take!

Mummy has finally found the camera cable to upload some pictures!Unfortunatly the camera has decided to stop focusing properly so sorry about the quality of the photos - they seem to be very blurry!
On Tuesday morning we had Frazers 2nd Birthday party at his house, Matilda then went to school in the afternoon and after school we walked down to Bumble bees for George's Birthday! so as you can imagine Tilly slept very well that Night!!! We got some pictures of Tils and her friends at Frazer's party but we were not allowed to use the camera at Bumble Bees which is a shame as they were having so much fun! Luckily Daddy was able to collect us when he finished work as it was raining and pouring!
Tilly and the sweeties she won in the pass the parcel!

Mummy has been very busy decorating Matilda's new bedroom, it is finished but needs some shelves etc which I think father Christmas may be bringing! Yesterday We stayed in in the morning (Mummy was doing Til's room - but had to pretend I was doing boring Mummy stuff as it was a suprise!) and then after lunch we went for a walk into town to get Tilly some shampoo and some meat (for Daddy) from the butcher, When we got back Tils played some more then helped me prepare supper and Mummy did the finishing touches to Tils room, Then we had soem tea and We told Tils to go and have a look in the 'spare room', she could not believe it and kept saying 'Thank you! Thank you!' and then she decided to ask 'Did you make it ?' -even her books and toys...funny girl!!! She slept in the there last night and fell out of bed at about 10pm - I went up to see if she was ok and she was lying on the floor sucking her fingers..Still asleep!!! So we had to wedge her in with pillows - she has had the sides down on her cot for ages so didn't think she would fall out, but I suppose she is just getting used to it!Tils so excited about her big girl bed!
Silly old Daddy got into Bed With Tilly !


Tilly openign the door to her new room - the camera has a delay - I tried to get her face but she moved too quickly!!!
Tilly looking at her new mirror - the ribbons hanging off had some small hair clips on, the ribbons were from her christening gifts.

Tils in her new bed!
Tils woke up this morning and was happily playing in her new space which is great as she did not have much room in the nursery, we are hoping that Elsie will move into the Nursery tonight - she has slept through the night for 3 days in a row now -WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

We went to see the hens this morning...but no eggs yet!Tilly was getting cross with Dora as she would not go into her bed and it was raining! Tils has school this afternoon and I have hair to do.
