I cracked open one of my birthday presents today: paints and brushes and a brand new smock. It was very cold outside, so I set up in the kitchen (so Beth wouldn’t spoil my art) and did some great painting. Then we went outside to hang up the picture to dry, and I did some more painting (even though it was very cold). One day I might grow up to be a painter like Asher (just look at my shoes).

 

Last Wednesday was my birthday. I woke up early and opened some of my fantastic presents (including packages from my nannas, my poppy, and my uncle Heath and presents from lots of other friends and relatives). I had lots of fun on the day, but really wanted to celebrate with more of my family around me. So today I had a little party. I just invited my closest cousins and a few friends who live near-by. (Sorry to all my other friends and relatives I couldn’t invite - maybe I’ll have a bigger party next year.) We all had such a fun time - I especially enjoyed the great red jelly (with strawberries) I made with mum.

 

I’m helping mum around the house …

Today we went to visit our cousins Edie, Hannah, Leah, Ruby, Romy and Lucy. I had a great time playing with Edie, and gave her lots of kisses. Hannah and Annalena disappeared into the back of the house for about half an hour, and when I went to see what they were doing I found Annalena all dolled up, saying “Hannah ruined me”. I think she meant to say “Hannah drew on me”, but either way she was correct.

 

I did some great drawings today, and was very proud to show my dad when he came home from work. Here’s me explaining the pictures to him.
