The Princesses: Birthday Party!

We drove and drove and drove and went to a park, then we ate lunch and RAN to the car 'cos there was a BIG storm! It was so exciting! Then we went to the gym, and after we came home we played games, had a birthday party, watched Shaun the Sheep and played more games. Then we ate dinner and drove and drove home.

Mercy took lots of photos and you can see them here.

Bonus: how many times can you spot Ashely & Mia next to each other in the photos?

These 4 were born within a week of each other. As you can see, Amelie was the only one not thrilled with being the center of attention.

Christmas Open House

Every year we have held an "Open house" around Christmas time for our friends and neighbours. Here are a few photos from this year.

Mia, Celeste & Grace getting ready for the musical

All dolled up

Here is Jun-kun, one of Mia's friends. This photo shows his one side of his personality, which keeps everyone around him entertained.

Rehearsals

Jun-kun & Yuya

Oodles of cakes and cookies

Some of my friends

Chia wore her favourite shirt and skirt (purple with a sequin heart, & pink with white polka dots)

Another friend

Lee & Yuya had the audience chuckling

The audience

Mia & Jun-kun

I like this photo cos you can see Mia poking her head out, she's not supposed to be there, but she's checking on Yuya to make sure he's not hurt for real. :)

Mia as she exits the stage.
