Happy Birthday to Daddy 5 star today!!

after school my 3 5 stars decorated a cake at their grandma's house

it looks fabulous of course.

after dinner we let them choose which part of the cake they wanted to eat.

littlest 5 star wanted the hat cause it had no farties (smarties) on it.

must say, I don't fancy eating farties myself!!!

oldest 5 star wanted the arm, cause it had the MOST smarties and marshmallows

malcom in the middle 5 star, well, she wanted the bit cut out in the middle.

yep, she asked for the arse.

in those words too. hmmmm

then youngest 5 star made a party hat for Dad.

it's those things that make your day special!

hand made christmas challenge...

these are the amazing christmas stockings my mum made for each of my little peeps.

each grandchild has one, and they are all different.

they are so beautiful.

I was asked last year if I would make one for my only other peep on my husbands side of the family.

of course, not really having been given the ability to say no too easily, I agreed.

well, of course since then, her parents are now expecting #2 aswell as

a baby from my husbands other sibling.

so it's now gone from 1 santa sack to 3!

so I have decided to make them each one, and since they will only be young,

it will be their christmas present!

they will be much more simple than these ones

but individual and something to treasure always. (I hope)
