| Week 15 |
 |
| Princess Genevieve asked me to take a picture of her all dressed up |
 |
| And with her mini Rapunzel doll and Pascal the lizard! |
 |
| We made lamingtons for the first time last week, Genna approved! |
 |
 |
| A classic Aussie dessert - white cake dipped on the edges in chocolate and sprinkled in coconut (and Murray likes them filled with cream - yumm!) |
 |
| Dadda was busy in the backyard this weekend - power washing after some serious digger action in the corner last week (big machinery drags a LOT of dirt - wow!) |
 |
| Then it was time for the big show - Australia Day Pavlova, made by Selina. I had 4? portions (Jingle demanded it ha ha!) |
 |
| And Selina's lamingtons - yumm yumm |
 |
| Friend Allison's son Sam picking chocolate chips from the leftover pavlova - ha ha - so cute |

| Group pic (minus Murray who was taking the photo) |
 |
| Last weekend, relaxing at the beach! Nice to have the beach tent to relax out of the sun after hot hot down by the water! |
 |
| And yesterday, waiting VERY excitedly for her first Carousel ride |
 |
| Hard to get a moving photo, beautiful old classic Carousel in Darling Harbour |
She LOVED it! (chose the purple horse of course!)
 |
| And finally, nights where she refuses to brush, she brushes along with 'Ben the Koala' - a full 2 minutes of copying the Koala while he brushes his teeth - fabulous! |
Right when I think your blog couldn't get any better...!! The dressing up is so, so fun! Love the mini Rapunzel tucked into the bodice! The Lamingtons look divine (and I have your recipe) but I need the Pavlova recipe by Selina too please!! I'm drooling just looking at it. And I'm sure Jingles greatly approved!!
ReplyDeleteThe waiting-for-the-carousel photo is beyond cute! And so glad we got to watch Genna on her purple pony!
Love you all,
G.A. Joni
PS- Monique: you and Jingles look wonderful, happy and oh so healthy!

Thanks for sharing your Australia Day! Nice of you to host the group and looks like you had a great time. Genna once again looks stunning in her Rapunzel outfit; Joni, she sure has championed that gift!
ReplyDeleteLove you, Grandma and Grandpa
The carousel ride made my day!! I can imagine myself there with you!
ReplyDeleteLove and miss you's,
Great Auntie Jani
I am warmer just looking at these fun photos of poolside dining & outdoor carousel rides! What a great idea...the soap container tucked under the vanity top! We need to get those sinks here!
