my gorgeous girl turned 8 on saturday...man i can't believe it..... my little miracle child is 8 god help me!!! we had a really nice day together starting with a couple of pressies from ethan and ebony to open.... anytime now honey...rip that paper!!!
she loved her gorgeous jewellery.....a bracelet from ebony and a butterfly necklace from ethan....following all that we had a mad hatter's tea party with some friends from school....

we made the girls goodie bags from some tulie and tissue paper then added some tags decorated with flowers and thickers.....


the boys got brown paper bags that i added some MLS "away we go" paper and stickers too...nothing fancy but i didn't think the boys would really worry about what their bags looked like....LOL!
we made flower cupcakes.................
and butterfly cupcakes............they were so yummy...and the kids loved them!!!
we made tea cup bickies but without handles cause i couldn't get any life savers anywhere!!

Meeting Krissy and easter stuff

the kids were SO excited to meet Krissy last weekend while she was visiting for my scrap retreat....Ebony became krissy's shadow and is missing her already....saying "i really, really want krissy to visit again or maybe we could visit her mummy???" i don't think she quite grasps how far away queensland is but hey she can dream can't she...LOL....thanks for copeing with your admirers krissy!! "MWAH" easter time brings parades and picnics this year.....the kids made their hats with daddy last weekend while i was on retreat..i got the shock of my life and had to totally eat crow but it was so worth it!!!!.i LOVE them and yes i am totally bias!!! PMSL.... they made top hats, covered them in egg patterned paper...they painted foam eggs and added them to the edges of the hats brim...on the top they put beaded eggs around the edges then finished them off with little bunnies at the front of the hats....so here are a couple of quick pics.... Eb in her hat.....then

singing "hip, hop candy rock" at her picnic concert....then they...

sang and signed "i can sing a rainbow".....

Ethan in his easter hat just before the parade..... my shy little chantelle getting ready to show her stuff at the parade too!!!
they all had a ball and the biggest bonus as far as i am concerned is that they had some fun with their dad!!
