Emma came to visit....


Emma brought the children to visit for a few days before Easter, arriving on the 28th and departing on the 30th.
Whilst Em was here we went shopping on Fosse Park and she found a lovely outfit which she had for her birthday.
We also took the children to visit with Great Grandma Peggy and she had her first hold of Genevieve.

The Outfit.....excluding Bethany...

Amber is 10


Amber is 10 today. How fast has the time gone. The treat for the day is a visit to Cadbury's World. It was very busy as there were a lot of schools visiting and people on haf term.
We were all excited well almost all of us...

Bradgate Park


It was such a lovely morning that we decided to go for a walk through Bradgate Park. It was very exhilerating, if a little cold, but a blue sky and the sun shone. The ground was still a bit wet from all the snow we have had, but a great morning.
Hot chocolate in the cafe before going home.

Water's a bit cold
Ducks rushing to see if we have food.

A "Christine" dress for Amber


Amber wanted a dress to wear to school for book day. The book she was taking was Phantom of the Opera, and she wanted to look like Christine in a white dress. So....as ever a bit late notice but we managed to get it together. Found some fabric I had in the stash and away we went...

Looking good just need the hair doing....
