School Xmas tea party

The build up to Christmas is soooo exciting.

Liam is 4

Liam had a fireman sam birthday party - and while he was out at the driving range with his new set of golf clubs, mum, zara and I (and Mila) set up his party. This is the calm before the storm with little Mila waving in the background

Then Liam and his best friends Eva & Joe came back from the golf

 And the party began

 Happy birthday to you dear Liam - 4 today

Cousins

Maja & Nora have gone back to NZ for christmas so we had a goodbye cuddle before they left. 

Mila & Maja both sucking their thumbs

Back to School

At the end of the summer holidays we always have to go back to school. This year Liam started too so now there are three of us at Brandlehow. 

Mila misses us when we go to school but we are always with her when we get home.

Zara Daisy is in year 1 this year.

Paralympics London 2012

We had such a fabulous summer holidays watching the olympics and paralympics so were very excited when mum and dad got us tickets to see the seven-a-side football at Olympic Park. It was an awesome experience and we all had an amazing day out that we will never forget.

Dad and Liam in front of Olympic Stadium. It is a HUGE park and there was lots of walking but there was so much to look at and everyone was in a super happy mood - especially the games makers!

In our seats waiting for the game - GB v Ukraine

Go team GB

 Mila and Aunty Erin with Mandeville

Zara and I with the real life mascot Wenlock - he was very cuddly!

We only had one queue the whole day and it wasn't very long, so Liam remained with a smile on his face ALL day!

Flip Flop Pool Party

Little Zara Daisy has turned six and to celebrate she threw a Flip Flop Pool Party for her friends. Based on a tropical party, lots of bright colours and swimming.

Hanging with Uncle Sean before the party started

 Then when everyone arrived the first thing everyone did was jump straight in the pool

Then when we had dried off we made some bracelets and other flip flop decorations

 And then things really warmed up with some hola tunes

Finally some nourishments in the way of vodka (opps I mean) tropical Jellies!

 Happy birthday dear Zara, happy birthday to you x
