Happy birthday Miss Ayja, 2 today

Thanks ladies, we had a nice sleep in today.. 8.30 they woke up.. i think they were just glad not to be woken at 6am like they have been for the past 8 days for mum to go to work. I tell you i was glad of the sleep in too!

She tore into her pressies, each one going "open it mum, open it!" as soon as the paper was off.

She has gone to daycare for lunch and a sleep then i am taking a cake there for her to have a party with her daycare friends for afternoon tea, we'll come home after that. Am currently awaiting the 2nd cake to finish cooking so i can cool it and then put the cakes together and ice them.. daycare's one is just a fairy house cake.. tomorrow is her elmo birthday at mc'ds, with an elmo face cake.. just a few of us and her little friends.

and yeah, whoa there are so many 2 yr old birthdays, i think it was Harmony that started it off..the big rush of babies around that time, her birthday was 12 days ago,(hhhm actually i think Abigail was before that) then ayja, andrew, josiah, jacob, briona, and i think Joey and Zaara came along a couple of months later too.. and a few more.. i can't remember but there were a few of us all preggers and whinging together. lol

here's some pics of this morning. Paris got her an elmo card with an elmo badge, which as you can see.. she loves. paris also got her a little giraffe phone which they opened as soon as they woke up... hence the werewolf-like appearance.

She got a little leappad, a bubble machine and a rock-a-bye pony (she's had her eye on these for ages cos paris got a talking pony from aunty last birthday which ayja regularly steals) and a little pack of bits to go on her potato head to make it a princess, she thought that was the neatest, and promptly went and got Jammie bear to introduce the two.. which i snapped a picture of. "look jammie bear, princess tato head!!"

I'll say!  What gorgeous photos.... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS AYJA! 

he he he... only you Janine would say "just a fairy house cake"!

Cute!! Happy Birthday Ayja! Hope you have a great party tomorrow.

Happy birthday Ayja! What great photos:)

here ya go ladies, the fairy house cake for daycare. turned out slightly larger than i planned but was easy, just yellow icing all over, chucked the chocy wafer bikies rolls on the top for the roof, ice cream wafers cut up for windows and doors, then piped icing around the edges..

Awesome!
Your 2 beauties will grow up with many happy memories of what awesome parents you guys are, especially with all those awesome wee touches like cool cakes and costumes! You rock, I really admire you, Janine!

lol, not amazing, just a perfectionist.. sometimes wonder if it's my way of trying to make up for the fact i am a working mum and have to be away from them so much.. i don't think i overcompensate, but just try and make special memories so they don't just grow up remembering mummy working all the time...

seriously though, has got to be the quickest cake i have ever done cos i just slapped the icing on and then used lollies and bikies and choccy bars to do the rest.. and stole Paris's little fairy winx club doll.. which of course she noticed instantly and goes "that's MY fairy". lol

currently have last cake baking for elmo cake tomorrow. am sick of cakes, he he. although have now found the ultimate cake mix, is quick, easy and costs $1.80 a pack.. i used 4 packs to get the house cake which fed the whole daycare plus teachers! (home brand butter cake mix, plain white packet, available from woolworths) makes for a very very cheap cake, to which you just need to add an egg and a tiny bit of milk. i sooo recommend them. cheap and yummy. (he he, yes i cheat and do packets cakes.. can't do everything.)
