This post is for JoJo
she waits all year for her birthday...and we have been counting down for 66 sleeps and now it's finally here!
Normally she's not one for jewellery but while shopping at the Canberra Centre she spotted the Pandora stand and chose this blue September birthstone ring...the stone is Lapis Lazuli which is not her birthstone
but it is her favourite colour
The actual birthstone for August is Peridot
She'd been asking for some red drums for a while now and we tracked some down
the look on her face was priceless when she opened her door to them!!!
We went out for dinner to Monet's with good friends Asta, Fiona and David
this is the view when I went there in the afternoon to deliver the balloons
Some stars that fell out of an envelope when she opened a card
JoJo started off with Garlic Prawns for dinner
followed by Fish'nChips
Mr Armchair chose Sushi
and I had Lemongras Chicken
All finished off with a Wiggles Birthday Cake
She had a lovely lovely day and an equally lovely weekend with her brother, sister and niece and nephew here to celebrate!
Over the weekend JoJo's brother and partner came down and they all found a new track to walk on
with a lovely view in the background
Whilst us adults were celebrating on Saturday these 2 little tech savy munchkins were quite happy with each other's company......along with mum's ipad!
A lovely few days celebrating
Happy Happy Birthday dear JoJo!!!
She loves all occasions
and now the countdown is on to Christmas!!!
