A month of birthdays

February kick-starts a month of birthdays with my two girls celebrating 4 weeks apart.

Fancy dress was a big theme this year with Anna from Frozen, a Mermaid, Fairy, Witch and Tinkerbell costumes all being unwrapped and making it into the dressing-up box!  

Moana also featured heavily with her face appearing on party plates, cups, tablecloth and party bags - the online store Party Bags and Supplies have great themed sets like this.

It's hard to believe my eldest is now 4. I know people say time goes quickly but it does only feel like yesterday when we walked into the door for the first time as a family of 3 (now 4).

The girls are just getting to the stage of (kind of) playing together nicely and really looking out for each other, which is wonderful to see. Don't get me wrong, we still have the most horrendous tantrums too!

I decided last minute to make a card to (hopefully) be read on CBeebies. I was frantically cutting, pasting and dashing to the Post Office one Saturday morning to try and get the card there on time. We managed to feature last year so kept our fingers crossed for another mention. 

I slightly cheated this year by doing a joint card (even though the girls don't actually share the exact same birthday) and they were thrilled to be featured!

As we gathered round to watch the birthday section, seeing the card appearing rounded off a great few weeks of celebrating with family and friends.
