Happy Birthday Rebekah!!!

Rebekah on her birthday!

On Sunday the 3^rd of June it was my little sister Rebekah’s birthday! She turned 3!!!! She had a ‘Dress-UP’ party! Everyone had to ‘Dress-UP’.

Sofia really liked the idea of ‘dressing-up’!!

Beth really dressed the part!

 

Gabrielle!

Even Sofia dressed up in a pretty dress!!!

She invited Beth, Gabrielle and our neighbours. The invitations were handbags with an iced biscuit inside. We got the party theme from an IDEAS magazine.

My Mom and I made the handbags out of scrap-booking paper!

My Mom and I made the biscuits!

The cake!!

I made the cake batter and my mom iced it. Inside the cake there was a big surprise! Rebekah was wondering the whole day what the surprise was, I mean, what can be in the cake other than cake?

And the big surprise was...

A RAINBOW CAKE!!!!!!!

Rebekah was so surprised to see a colourful cake!!

But no matter what the colour the cake was she still enjoyed it!!!

Rebekah and her cake!

I hope you enjoyed your birthday ‘Madam Rebekah’!!

I made her a bedside holdall and gave her a notebook and pen to go in it! Mom and Dad gave her a pink polar fleece blanket and my Granny and Oupa gave her a ‘Hello Kitty’ Lego set! Beth got her a pink foam princess craft kit to make a crown, wand and a hand mirror by yourself! Rebekah gave her a skipping rope and Sofia gave her a wooden doll’s house doll.

We went to our friends for a braai later. It was such a lovely evening and Gabrielle had so much fun! She had to go on a treasure hunt to look for her present (from our friends), which was a pink bicycle!!! Gabrielle was soooo excited!!!

I hope you had a lovely day Gabrielle!

Love, Nancy

Our New House!

On Sunday, the 29^th of January, we moved into our new house! We were all so excited! It is not too far from our old house, so the drive was not long! The kittens did not like driving in the car and meowed a lot! The little ones thought that moving was a great adventure and enjoyed it lots! Our new house is much bigger than our old house and it is also on a farm! It needs a lot of work, but, when we are done, it will be beautiful! We can have animals, a veggie garden and lots of flowers! I will be posting again soon about our lives on our new farm! Have a good weekend! 

Love Nancy

In Remembrance of Smokey

Late at night on the 26th of October my cat, Smokey, came home seriously injured. He had been caught in a trap and had somehow managed to get free and come home to me! That was soooo special! First thing the next morning we took him to the vet. Later that morning the vet phoned and said that we would have to put him down! His front left and back right paws were so badly crushed that they would have to be amputated and no cat can function with only two paws! I was soooo sad! I buried him at our new farm and planted a mulberry tree over his grave. So every time we pick mulberries, we can remember him! I am going to get another kitten soon.  But I still miss him soooo much!

My Birthday and Blog Anniversary!!!

On the 14^th of October it was my 12^th birthday!! And my Blog Anniversary!! My Blog is a year old now!! Kelly-Anne, (my sister), made me a gorgeous card!!!   

Isn’t it pretty?

We were staying with friends in Cape Town because Sofia was born at a hospital there, so I had my birthday there! They made me a trifle for my birthday! It was delicious!!!

My mom and Sofia were discharged from the hospital that day and we went to Greyton for the weekend (you can read more on Kelly’s blog) so that my mom could rest before the long trip home to Knysna. It was a wonderful birthday and I enjoyed it soooo much!! Thank you everyone for a lovely day!!
