I love these moments

I love these moments.

Having family sitting on the couches, telling stories, making each other laugh, eating good food, and just enjoying each other.

My Granny is visiting at the moment, Uncle Chris and Aunty Tammy (and of course sleeping Max) came for supper. Nachos mmmm.......

My Uncle's fishing stories, Max making noise and being hyper (love that cutie pie!), Granny being tired and talking with her eyes closed.

I love these moments.

Paige's surprise party!

The day after my blessing ceremony (Monday) we had a surprise party for Paige. Her Nana took her fabric shopping and then came back to Tessa's house to "say goodbye" to her.........

Here are everyone waiting for her to arrive.........

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!

Tessa put together a cake after the Woods came to spend time with us.........

Needless to say everyone was impressed!

Almost all the guests had a great time swimming in Tessa's swimming pool.....

Paige got to chat to the girls too.........

After everyone left Josh and I went to Karate and then went back to Tessa to have a braai, all of the cousins (except Josh) piled onto the slide.

Blessing Ceremony

For my 13th birthday I had a blessing ceremony in Tokai forest. All my friends and family joined us and we braaied afterwards. It was a lovely day and it was so special that everyone made an effort to be there with me!

Here are Paige and me before everyone arrived. It was so nice that they could come up for my birthday! It was so much fun having them here!

Paige's little cousin, Zander, with chips in his mouth.......

My Dad read what he and Mom wrote for me first, it was so special......

my Granny and Auntie Deborah emailed their blessings, since they couldn't be here.......

Opa and Oma also had something to say, I was so glad they could come........

Auntie Catherine wrote me a letter that she read out........

Paige read me a song that she wrote, it was beautiful!

Grandpa said something for me too......

And Uncle Chris........

After that we ate and chatted.

Tessa made me some yummy caramel cupcakes, aren't they amazing?

Time to party!

My 13th birthday party was on the 1st of October, we all had a great time.......

Here are all the guests together on the couch.

Eating party food.

Playing the famous chocolate game, it was so much fun!

We had Singstar going throughout the party, almost everyone had a go!

We also played Dancemat, there was some serious competition between some of the girls!

This is my amazing cow cake that Tessa made for me, isn't it great?

The three cousins, all in blue.......

Paige and little Sarah, she is so cute!

After all the guests left, all of the cousins swam along with Nicole (who slept over) and Ashton (whose parents hadn't picked her up yet). It was freezing, but refreshing!!!

It was so great, i think everyone had a great time and my friends gave me amazing presents! It was wonderful!
