esther and kezia spent a good hour and half making these sheepy puppets.
it was kezia’s birthday party yesterday.

kezia, aged 2 and a lot, made a mini oil rig at her pre-school yesterday . how fantastic is that !
we had a rare sunday with no church commitments yesterday so we decided to have a family day and go to london. we did lots of nice touristy things and spent hours in the tate modern.

esther lost another tooth yesterday. if she carries on at this rate she’ll be toothless by the end of February. And that would suck.
luckily the tooth fairy delayed her appearance until last night when she picked up the two of them, so that saved her a trip.

exciting life milestones – kezia is spending her first night in a big bed.

my mum came to visit yesterday so we went bowling. esther won (by a long shot).
kezia loved looking down the hole at the side of the lanes so she could see the balls whizzing back. As soon as she’d pushed her ball off she’d throw herself on the floor to see down the gap (and jane would chase after her as seen here)
here is esther putting on her new christmas make-up.
her little mirror was a bit wonky so she ended up with a slightly strange shaped face in the reflection !
