Ella is 12

Ella girl is 12 now, and one of the ways she celebrated was hosting brunch for the Canberra family last Monday (a public holiday), our first cold bleak day of the season. 

Present giving takes a lot of thought for teens and pre-teens. Angus took a lot of care to choose this one......

 Lego was on Ella's wish list - and this set .......
 ticked all the boxes .............
 These sweet kids put in a few hours building this most amazing ship in a bottle Lego - from scratch!  Just as well it held their interest as it was not much fun playing party games outside on this cold grey morning.

 It was a serious business, involving great teamwork..........

 Abi didn't feel as much part of the Lego team - which was nice for us as she put in a lot of time with Maxie and me instead telling us all about whale sharks (and other creatures).
 Ella makes all the cakes in the family now - although she's a bit over it at the moment after making 72 birthday cupcakes for her school friends. 
 I tried to get a good group shot of these gorgeous kids - but only two of them are friends of the camera... I take what I can get!!
 This might be my best shot!

 Happy birthday dear sweet Ella girl!
