Kade's 1st Birthday!

Yesterday our beautiful boy Kade turned one!
The past year has been wonderful watching 
him grow and develop his personality.
Last week we had Kade's First Rodeo.
There were hobby horses instead of 
lolly bags for the kids.
A time capsule where everyone wrote special 
messages to be opened by Kade when he turns 18.
The many faces of Kade!
Paris made this cute Hairy Coo 
(Highland cow) cake just for Kade. 
 
He really enjoyed himself and 
I think this was his first sugar hit!
 
 With Mum and Dad.
 
And Poppy and Grannie. 
Kade just loved the soft play area. 
He didn't want to leave it.  
 
 How cute is Kade's hat!
Of course I had to make Kade a Hound Dog!
I think he likes it!
It was a much quieter celebration 
yesterday with the immediate family.

Four Generations!

 
Kade makes four generations!

 
 Great Grandmother Betty, Daddy Austin, 
Kade and Granny. 
My Mum is known as Granzie 
as the boys call her Nanzie!

Kade with his parents (Austin and Paris), 
grandparents (Noel and Christine, Karen and Rob) 
and great grandmothers (Betty and Joan).

 
The last four generation photo taken was 
back in 1963 when I was 6 weeks old with my
mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

I have been working on other projects. 
 
I'm also so far behind with my blog reading.

Santa Sacks!

 
Two new Santa Sacks for Christmas 2025. 
One for Kade and one for Chloe, Nelson's girlfriend.

I made a sack with this fabric for a nephew a 
couple of years ago. Austin loved it and I asked 
him if he'd like me to get some more and put it away 
just in case they had a boy. Austin was our dinosaur boy 
and hopefully Kade will like them too
as Grannie just might be a bit of a theme 
happening for him this Christmas! 

Nelson chose this fabric for Chloe. 
Kade's first time meeting Santa. 
Apparently as soon as Kade looked in Santa’s direction 
he screamed and absolutely balled his eyes out. 
At least Ralph looks happy to visit with Santa!
