Easter Sunday

Maxie was doing a great impersonation of the Easter bunny but was totally mystified as to why Ella wouldn't accept her share of the goodies (apparently she is going through a phase of doing exactly as her Mummy says..and her Mummy said no more chocolate this morning!).


Luckily, Easter gifts of toys were OK. Miffy is a current favourite and, being very cute, is especially apt for Easter! Although Grandpa needed reminding that "her is a girl".

Although the links with Easter were fairly limited the Spider man bike and the Star Wars Lego were also considered acceptable alternatives to more chocolates.

Easter egg hunts were great fun this year as all the kids are into word games, jokes, riddles and rhymes and searching for clues. Ollie can even read clues himself now with minimal help; very advanced for a five year old.

Angus has announce this week that he no longer wishes us to call him Angie!

Easter is always another great excuse for good eating. The kids all enjoyed Granny K.'s gluten free muffins to end off our gourmet breakfast with all the trimmings, including, inevitably, way too much dark chocolate.

Easter Sunday was busy for me. Sophie and Maddy accompanied me to the Hyatt for afternoon tea to celebrate their recent respective birthdays. Rob and I joined them (and the rest of the family) for a birthday dinner later that night along with a bevy (gaggle/giggle) of teenage girls all having an enormous amount of fun experimenting with various eye liners and eating caramel mud cake. Oh to be thirteen again!
