Happy Birthday Caitlin!

It was Caitlin's birthday yesterday - the big 11!

How time flies! Doesn't seem that long ago that she was just a baby, learning to walk, learning to eat (feta cheese and black olives), learning to talk ("bugger").

Now she's almost all grown up - only 18mths until she starts high school.

Michael and I gave her a Dreamworld Max Action Pass (annual pass) as her main present. I took both girls and Caitlin's friend Hope to Dreamworld on Sunday (will do a separate blog), they had a blast. Barely saw Caitlin all day - she and Hope went on all the thrill rides. Hope bought her a handbag for her birthday. Comment of the day from Caitlin "I don't feel womanly without my handbag!" (for gawd's sake!)

We had dinner last night with Margaret (Mumma), John (Poppy) and Edna (BigNanna). Nanna couldn't make it as she was housesitting in Sydney whilst Mark and Michelle are in the UK. It was a nice dinner, followed by a marshmallow marble cake, as requested by Caitlin. Disgustingly sweet! But she enjoyed it.

Nanna and Poppy gave her a computer. She is rapt. Not only did she get an iPod from Uncle Bah, but now she can surf the net from her own bedroom! She has taken the day off from school today, because she felt sick this morning, but I think she just wants to try out the computer. And read her new Harry Potter book.


So Happy Birthday sweetheart - I hope this is a wonderful year for you!
