Damian's 3rd Birthday Party

For Damians party we hired a local hall and had a construction themed party.

All the boys liked the look of the construction site cake. They were all wanting to play with the trucks and crane.

We had an excavation game where we buried lots of toys and chocolates in the big sandpit. All the children were given a tool box and hard hat and had to be diggers and dig out the prizes.

The back of the dump truck is full of chocolate crackle rocks. I think Damian ate most of them.

Little Cinderella

This video won't make much sense unless you've seen Cinderella lately (which we have). As a bonus, you can hear Will burp in the background.

Passionfruit

We have some passionfruit vines growing on our back deck fence and the pool fence. We do not look after them at all (you are suppose to fertilise them every month). Last year we got a total of 6 off the vines. This year there have been over 50 on the vines and so far there have been 14 that we have been able to pick. They can only be picked once they turn purple and they take a long time to become purple. Also, the cockatoos like to pick them off and have a tiny nibble before throwing them aside (this drives me nuts). We are not huge fans of passionfruit in this family but I made a lovely cheese cake from them. I am quite proud of them. Ripe and ready to be picked.

Damian helps me to pick the purple ones.

Christmas Eve with mum and dad

We had a lovely roast turkey dinner on Christmas eve to celebrate Christmas and dad's birthday.
