Neglected Blog & Carnival Party

Dear neglected Blog - things have been rather busy with everyone's birthdays and such. Here are some piccies of my eldest son's fabulous Carnival Party

The Invitation - we printed on card and were small (luggage tag size ) - got really lucky and found some tiny brown envelopes which fitted perfectly!

The Cake - 3 layers of sponge with buttercream, I painted onto the icing with food dye and used strawberry laces as hair. I couldn't eat the main cake but the laces were yummy!

Snowman!

When we woke at 7am there was that telltale silence where you know it's snowed and you go to the window and peek out. It was beautiful this morning before anyone and stepped on the soft virgin snow. Then the children we're out on our street laughing and playing. Sam and a neighbour's son made this fantastic snowman - my only input was finding the accessories. Definitely the biggest snowman I've ever seen! It was a really magical day.
