Today was the Playschool Christmas Party - a lovely opportunity for all the kids and parents to gather, play, chat and relax together, with some joint marvelling at these ever-so-grown-up kiddos who are starting Pre-school next year!
The weather was warm, the trees were shady, the BBQ was sizzling up the sausages and everyone just generally had a merry old time!

Fairy ready to flitter-flutter away!
Face-painting always a hit... |

| My little tiger |

| The kids presented 'secretly made' hand print gifts to their parents with a sweet little poem about these hand-prints staying the same even as the child grows. Yes, guaranteed to bring a tear to a Mama's eye! |

| Good times in the sand pit |

| A photo-taking miracle. It was the end of the day, the kids were filthy (well, Eli was) and tired but I suggested a half-hearted attempt at a group photo. Some how they all sat happily, cheerily and IN ONE SPOT! We actually were the ones to tell them they could get down, we were all done w our snaps... a rare but lovely opportunity, haha! |
 |
| Edmund, Finn, Lily, Harper, Zoe and Eli. This crew have been buddies since they were all in the womb! (not the same womb, ha) They are marvelous mates, and I sure hope it continues as their Mums are two of my most dear and lovely friends. Basically, we will force/bribe/cajole the kids to remain friends if necessary! ;) |
Well, I just love this post so much! I am so proud of us - getting that photo of the six kids together. Now who would have thought your idea of getting a group photo would have actually come to fruition ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a lovely day, and a true joy to spend it with your family and Kristin's.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty spot. Looks like a wonderful day. So nice for those kiddos to have each other. And for the mamas to have a picture of them all together. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess if you have all have two a piece, and you're pregnant with number three, it must be.... Ambers turn next :)
