Birthday girl





11 years old!!!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful baby girl, who is no longer a baby or little girl but will always be our baby.
You make us laugh and you make us proud. You are kind and loving and above all love to have fun. You are mature but you also know how to be a kid and indulge in all things fun.  We love you so much and so do Harry and Lucy. Yes you argue and fight sometimes, but you also play incredibly well together and have a special bond.
You are still obsessed with Taylor Swift (your reaction to Tay Tay tickets for your birthday was priceless), you love your friends to death, especially Sarah (who has just moved back to Bris). You adore Macy and love to walk her for me. You love Netball and Gymnastics still and can always be found on the trampoline doing some kind of new flip!
You adore your cousins, hate snakes, and have started to eat broccoli again!
For your birthday this year you asked to go shopping with me for a whole day (make my heart swell) and we had the best day every!!! It was a mini glimpse into the future! You are fun to be around and a big help around the house.
I love you Holly, have the best year being 11. You are the best, don't every change xx

Lucy (not so) Funny

2 days before Christmas we had our annual court christmas party.  It's always much anticipated and everyone in the court joins in for afternoon drinks and dinner.
This year I had to get Macy to the dog sitter which turned out to be a 3 hour round trip and unfortunatley overlapped with the court party.  I got home and had a drink, however we were leaving for the airport at 9am the next morning and we had not packed a thing.  I left the party and made the  most of a quiet house and packed and cleaned like a demon for 2 hours.  While I was packing Andrew came over to grab something and asked what I was doing. Cleaning? Apparently Lucy had told everyone at the party that I was sleeping?
I kept on packing, Lucy was in and out of the house.  Andrew came back again a bit later chuckling asking what I was doing?  Packing???  This time Lucy has told a full audience of our court/neighbours, that "Mummy is getting a massage on top of the washing machine" ??!!!
Mortally embarrassed I asked her why she said that, she was laughing saying "because you were!"
Lucy! show me what I was doing?  she went into the laundry and pretended to dance with the washing machine?  Why would you say that? I wasn't even in the laundry?  She said "I know you didn't but it was funny and everyone laughed!!!"
I could have killed her if it wasn't so absurd and funny!
I eventually went back to the party .... with a bit of explaining to do!!!

NYE with the Loadsman’s
