Hannah has spent a great Easter holiday week at the Thornhill Centre Holiday Bible Club. The theme this time was 'Knights', so there were some great costumes being worn by the kids.
Below is a photo of Hannah and her friend (also called Hannah) dressed up in their princess costumes. They don't look like they need any Knights in shining armour to come and rescue them!
Uncle Mike & Auntie Jan have got a new addition to their house, in the shape of a gorgeous little girl called Bethan Ruth!
Congratulations to the Thomas family!
James is excited about having a new baby sister to play with!
Hannah's new bike is going down very well. Thomas is peddling fast to keep up!
Hannah reached the magical age of 4 today, and was lucky enough to have two birthday parties to celebrate!
The first was held at the Thornhill Centre, and all of her nursery friends were invited to come along - plenty of bouncing on the bouncy castle, plenty of yummy food, plenty of silly games! And party bags with silly glasses in them!
Hannah's second party was a more relaxed affair, at Grandma and Grandad's house, with just family joining the party. Hannah even got to help make the cake for that party - she was determined that she wanted a Butterfly Cake (just like on Hi-5), so with Ruth's baking skills and Hannah's decorating skills, a delicious Butterfly Cake was hatched!
Hannah's number one present was a bike (thanks Grandma, Grandad, Nanny & Grumpy!), so it looks like we're going to be going on lots of rides this summer - if Thomas ever lets go of the back!
Hannah's biggest present was a giant inflatable ball (thanks Uncle Mike & Auntie Jan!) It was great fun playing with it in the garden, until a big gust of wind blew it straight over a neighbour's fence. Ooops!
Thankfully, the neighbour brought it round to Grandma and Grandad's the next day, so it wasn't lost forever!
It was Uncle Mike's birthday today. He even had a cake that looked exactly like him!
Thomas and Cousin James didn't hang around when it came to eating time!
And here is Auntie Jan showing off her new patio doors (and her big belly - not long to go now before another cousin arrives on the scene!)
It's been 3 months since I last got around to updating this blog, so I've got piles of photographs to put on - Christmas ones, birthday ones, holiday ones, snowmen ones... Now that my latest Open University assignment is safely handed in, I should have a bit of time to do some backdating.
I'll update this post with links to the new entries, just to make sure that no-one misses any!
Watch this space...
Updated on 26th March:
We woke up to a heap of snow this morning. It didn't half confuse our cherry blossom tree, which only just recently started flowering!
We wasted no time in getting outside and trying to build a bigger snowman than our next door neighbours. They've won everytime up until now, so we had to plan big! But, Thomas was determined that he wasn't going anywhere until he was fully insulated!
The snowman turned out to be a whopper. Daddy almost broke his back trying to lift the head on!
But, did we win? Well, our snowman was bigger than any next door, but they were just showing off and made two giant snowmen! We'll win next time!
Our snowman died a graceful death as the weather warmed up again (much to the cherry blossom tree's delight!) - although it does look like Mr Snowman has been stabbed to death by a flower!
We decided to get Hannah and Thomas into practice for later life by teaching them how to wash our car!
It's a skill they'll need to learn if they want any pocket money when they're older!
