Ben’s First Year

We have been going through old photos to make a photobook of Ben’s first year (he turned one last August).

Here are some of the pictures we dug out.

Ellie’s First Pedal Bike

Yesterday I took Ellie to buy her first pedal bike, which was her birthday present from us. Here’s the one we chose!

We haven’t taken it out yet because the rain hasn’t let up for a moment. But here she is testing it out inside.

Garden Enhancements

Our back garden is in a right state. We haven’t had the time to give it much love and care since we moved into the house three years ago. Still, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

A couple of recent enhancements though.

First, we have upgraded from a “hole in the fence” to a gate as the entrance for the garden.

Garden Gate

Secondly, I’ve added a couple of annexes. 😉

Bird Box and Bee & Bug House

Christmas 2013

This year we celebrated Christmas at home and played hosts (for the very first time). We had a great time. I hope you did too.

Present-opening was a chaotic affair – as it should be!

This video will give you a good idea 🙂

There was also plenty of food and drink consumed!

Cheers!
