Double Digits!! Decade Old Daughter!!

We've hit double digits! Ten years old!! Milla had a lovely birthday... the celebrations are still going really with her end of year dance concert tomorrow afternoon and dinner out tomorrow night but so far she has had a ball.
We had a sweet party day last Saturday at a florist. Everything was her fav colour - yellow and made for the bright happy afternoon just like our girl. She invited special friends from school, and dancing and of course her cousin JoJo to join in the floral fun.

Her birthday was on Wednesday so we all woke a little earlier to be sure we could do the gift giving on mum and dad's bed ritual before Matt had to run off to work ( a little tricky as we were out until late the night before at a school performance night where Milla's was in three performances so was a little tired)
We told Milla in the morning she could get her ears pierced for her birthday so the second I got home from work that afternoon she was in the car and we headed to get them done. It was a little nerve wracking, as she thought it would hurt, but the second it was all done she was SO excited and has not stopped staring at her self in the mirror since!!

This years interview questions had answers that show she is absolutely growing up but is also still our little girl.... not sure how long that will last!

It's Great To BB-8!

Our boy is 8! That would be our youngest no-where near a baby anymore!
Harrison's birthday fell on a school day this year, one of those week days that we usually have to ask the kids more than once or twice to get out of bed with not much of a positive response. But a birthday weekday has the kids up, alert and ready way earlier than usual!
Harris asked me about a year ago if he could have a Star Wars themed birthday with a party at Laser Tag. A request that was fulfilled with a little spin... not just Star Wars themed but a particular Star Wras character - BB-8!! The perfect number for this years birthday don't you think?!?

He took little packs of mini doughnuts iced in orange and white along to school to share with his class (a big hit apparently).

After school was filled with Lego building then a special dinner and trifle birthday dessert!
His party was on Saturday at Code Red Laser with 8 of his mates and cousins. LOTS of fun was had and the 2 hrs felt like it went in 2 minutes! Of course it ended in a BB-8 cake!

One very chuffed little man!!
