Birthday Interview: Milla 29/11/2011

I saw this idea recently and LOVE it. You 'interview' you child every year on their birthday with the same 20 questions and see how they grow, change, develop over the years. I thought I would start with Milla's birthday yesterday and I had a few giggles as she answered my questions.


1) How old are you? 4
2) Who is your best friend? Harrison
3) What is your favourite thing to do? riding on ponies (*giggle* she has never done this)
4) What is your favourite colour? Pink
5) What is your favourite food? Sausages
6) What do you like to do with your family? Play games
7) What is your favourite toy? Barbie
8) What do you want to be when you grow up? Milla (*giggle*)
9) What makes you happy? Cuddling toys
10) What makes you sad? Hurting
11) What is your favourite show to watch? Barbie
12) What is your favourite book? Bambi
13) What do you love to learn about? Music
14) What was the best part of your birthday? Doing exercises with dad (*giggle* she pretended to be Matt's personal trainer and 'taught' him exercises in the back yard after dinner last night)
15) Where would you like to go for a holiday? the snow
16) Who is your teacher? Matt (swimming teacher)
17) What is your favourite treat? Strawberries
18) What do you think about before you fall asleep? my scarves (*giggle* she has 2 scarves that she sleeps with every night)
19) What is your favourite animal? Cats
20) What was your favourite birthday present? Barbie clothes

Now to remember to do it for each birthday Harris and Milla have from now on.... remind me if I forget please :)

Gingerbread Builders!

Now our real house is all ready for Christmas we thought it would be fun to make and decorate a mini house - a gingerbread house!!

With a kit from Gingerbread Folk we had lots of fun building our little house the covering it in lollies!!!







The proud builders with their creation!

Christmas decorations are up!!

A full day of playing with our Christmas decorations has the house looking very festive!! The rain cleared just at the perfect time for us to finish our breakfast and head to the front yard to create some Christmas cheer in our street.



300 plastic ball pit balls threaded with string are our 'baubles' on our row of pencil pine 'Christmas trees'



A HUGE wreath I found for an absolute bargain on ebay with a handful of the plastic balls added to it now hangs on the very front of the house.


These are our three elves re-named Fliss, Milla & Harris.




Now just to add a handful (or 5) of Christmas lights and we'll be all done - Yay!
