Birthday's Part 1

So another year has rolled by with E turning 6 !! Lucky for E this year there was a teachers strike so a whole day off for her birthday !!!

As always the kids aren't allowed to open their presents until dad is home from work. This year Grandma came over for the afternoon to help celebrate.

So here goes with all the photos !!

First presents from Grandma.

Hooray E now has her own Pillow Pet, which is a dog of course !!

E was good enough to let C get her Pillow Pet from Grandma early so now we have a Pillow Pet family !!

Thanks Grandma xx

Now for our present. She had been eying this off for 2 whole days.

Don't you love her cute cat helmet !! She picked it !!

More cool things in the box !!

A nice new WARM coat !!

 

So after the first round of presents it was off to swimming lessons. Funny thing was that we did the same thing last year !! Swimming lessons on her birthday with her mother !! Luckily not with me again this year !!!

After swimming we were off to dinner at KFC, again the same thing we did last year. Is there a pattern forming here ??? !!!

Presents round 2 at Nan's, caught Sandy yawning !!

Gotta have the cake pics. Thanks Dad for making the cake !!

The final stash from day one.

So at the end of her birthday I think she has done really well. Now we wait and see what will be on offer when we hit the water for her pool party on Saturday. 

Happy Birthday Sweet Heart xxxxxx

Disney On Ice Rocks !!!

Ok so on the weekend the girls, mum and I headed to Disney On Ice. We have been to a fair few of these shows but have NEVER been so close.

This kids had no idea that we were going but I have secretly been waiting for this day for months !! I love all things Disney and couldn't wait to get into our third row seats.

As you all know I LOVE to take pictures and so there will be a stack of photos attached to this post. But be thankful that I am not posting all of the 112 photos that I did take !!! I really need to book tickets to two shows as I saw most of the show through the lens of my camera !!!

Just had to take a pic of the kids walking with their Disneyland hats on !!

See how close we were.

At the Mad Hatters Tea Party.

Love Mickey Mouse xxx

This has to be my favourite photo !!

The lovely Fairy Godmother

Start of the second half.

The beautiful Minnie Mouse xx

The crowd went nuts when these guys came out !!

I just love Buzz's face in this shot !!

Just before the end of the show the VIP's are allowed to get right down next to the rink and say hello to the characters !! Woohoo for VIP seats !! The kids were ready to run and lucky we were able to get right in the front !!! I think though that I was the most excited !!

That's Snow White shaking C's hand !!

That's my hand getting a hi five from Stitch with Lilo close behind !!

I have to say that this Disney show was one of the best that I have seen. The costumes were amazing and there were so many characters from so many different movies. The extra cost for the VIP tickets was well worth it and I will definitely be doing it again next time they all come to town.
