Lily and Luca’s Wedding

Lily and Luca’s Wedding

Last week Rylie delivered a wedding invitation to me.  Being the mother of a daughter with a vivid imagination I was not surprised when I was informed that Lily (Rylie’s soft toy sheep) and Luca (Rylie’s Ouma’s soft toy sheep) were getting married. Trish (Ouma) advised us that planning for this wedding had been in progress for some time and we were expected participate fully in this afternoon wedding ceremony – including a smart dress code. Cheriece was asked to make the wedding cake, I was asked to take the photos and arrange the music and Trish would conduct the ceremony.

Needless to say we all thoroughly enjoyed the service, the cake and especially the Prosecco – since we’d been on a detox for a few days this was the ideal opportunity to break with our alcohol-free detox and get into the swing of things.

Rylie’s 10th Birthday

November 24th, 2012 | Posted by Ruby in Parties - (Comments Off on Rylie’s 10th Birthday)

Although it’s not Rylie’s birthday until the 12th of December, Cheri and Marianne decided to hold a joint party for Rylie and Holly as they both turn 10 within weeks of each other and are close friends and neighbours. After much debate and various theme considerations the girls chose to have a pool party.  Fortunately the weather was great (remember they’re in Brisbane so it’s late spring) and the girls had a wonderful day.

All partied out – clearly no staying power 🙂
