Advent Blog~a~long #3 - New Traditions

Aden was a too little last year at just 4 months-old to start any traditions for him at Christmas, and we were moving over 1400kms and in limbo at the time, but this year he is old enough and I love it!

This Fisher Price Nativity Scene was shown on Corrie's blog last week and then I saw they were on special this week at Kmart and just had to get one for Aden. He loves it!

He played with it for ages last night while waiting for Daddy to come home from work. I think everyone one had a turn at being the angel on top...even a bus driver!



(please excuse the grubby clothes I had just picked him up from Day Care)

And it has been out again this morning! I think Mummy is having just as much fun as Aden is!




It will be packed away after Christmas and come out each year with the decorations. I'm hoping no pieces get lost!

We had a worrying time when we lost the donkey, but he's back, better than ever. My kids are playing with our set enthusiastically again (and they're at 7 and 6 way past most Little People.)

I love this set. I brought it this year as well to use in my RE classes, the 7/8 yearolds loved it too. Thomas thinks it is great as well.

Just discovered your blog - just wanted to tell you I've had that nativity for 6 years now. Only one piece has been lost, so I'd say we're doing well (it was just the top of the straw feeder thing). All my kids love it.

I bought this set at kmart this week too! I have been longing for it for a few years and always missed out.
I am a mean mumma though and ours is up on a shelf. I let Kitty press the angel and that is it. She can play with the 3724 other little people we have. This set is all mine!

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
