Today is Lauren's birthday and this year I decided to simplify things a little. Instead of making numerous batches of cupcakes I BOUGHT a birthday cake and stuck a few flowers on it for her to take to school. So much easier and she's just as happy! We're just having the family over for dinner for her birthday. And then I'm taking her to Lollipops Playland with her cousins. That's what she wants more than anything. And finally, here are some more photos from our trip to NZ:

Here's everyone enjoying a dip! I had to stay on land with Lauren - she wasn't a fan of the water and to be honest, neither was I overly keen!

Here's everyone enjoying a dip at the waterhole in Kati Kati.

Ffffrrrreezing!!
