Charlotte's 5th Birthday

Charlotte's birthday fell on a Monday so she had to go to school but made time to open some presents beforehand. She received a super globe from Nana, Grandad Philip and Aunty Lisa.

After school, Charlotte had a small group of friends over to play. She loved the "birthday hat"!

Wish I could say it was homemade, but I can't - thank you to Mr Tesco man for Charlotte's hedgehog cake!

Windy walk!

Nanny Pam came to stay with us for the weekend. We enjoyed a walk and appreciated some great views over Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel (plenty of trains for Thomas!)

Build-a-bear party!

Charlotte and her friend Shannon had a joint birthday party at Build-a-Bear. We all had great fun making our bears.

Aunty Emma and Uncle Paul joined in and made their own bear as well!

Thomas carefully brushed his bear (well, frog!) after he had been stuffed and stitched

After building our bears, we ventured on to Pizza Hut for a birthday dinner where Charlotte certainly enjoyed the ice cream for pudding!

Rare Breeds Centre with the school gang

We had a big reunion weekend with all Caz's school friends and their families. Caz didn't get round to taking many photos but we have "little" Charlotte showing off her Rare Breeds sticker...

...and "big" Charlotte with Jack desperately trying to let the goats out of their pen...

...and Sarah having a go on the zip slide!!!

Heather's Third Birthday

Happy Birthday to cousin Heather who turned three in February. We travelled to Yorkshire for the "soft play party" which has been talked about ever since!
