Birthday Interview: Milla 29/11/2012

A fifth birthday is a big milestone and one that Milla has been counting down to for a loooong time now. The first one up this morning, Milla came into our room ready for what the day might hold!
Gifts were ripped open and being used/played with by 7am before a breakfast of pancakes and strawberries as a special birthday treat. The main gift Milla received today was two tickets to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the stage show this Sunday so no party was planned for this year and we are now very much looking forward to our special outing in just 3 sleeps time.

Once Matt arrived home from work tonight we had a family dinner that ended in a birthday cake of course... a Barbie Cake in fact that had Milla announce, in between bites, "this is the best birthday ever!"

Trick or Treat!

Halloween 2012 is now all packed away safely for another year but just ask Milla or Harris about it and they'll have you know it was LOTS of fun!
We decorated our house again this year with a few changes from last year and added a bunch of orange, grey and black bunting. The neighbours all followed suite with a few skeletons, jack-o-lanterns and witches popping up over the past few weeks on our street!

There was lots of excitement yesterday afternoon when Mahlee, Georgie, Harper, Jo & Oskar, all dressed up with buckets in hand, joined us for Trick or Treating!!

Batman, a Mummy, a butterfly, a princess, a witch and Darth Vader happily went from house to house knocking on spooky doors and collecting treats - our cousins who had never done this before were AMAZED at what they got!!

We handed out over 50 ghost lollipops to other trick or treaters and had people coming to our place to pose infront of and take pics of our house!! I can see Halloween getting bigger and bigger each year and we are loving it!!
Now I wonder how long we can make the treat stash last???
