A record of the day Anouk turned two.
She was straight out of bed & first on her agenda was cooking up a storm in the play kitchen
Sometimes I can’t believe the amount of play these two fit in between waking up & eating breakfast…

It was a normal day, with no particular plans, other than my quiet plan to savour every little thing about it….

After breakfast Ava helped Anouk open the card she made for her & we gave her a few small gifts…

including a new harmonica…

When Anouk had her nap time, Ava asked if we could make a cake for Anouk, so I let Ava do most of the baking & we invited Gran & Grandpa over for afternoon tea.
Ava baked a nice little cake for her sister, so nice she apparently couldn’t resist eating the end off it before I got a chance to ice it!

Then it was all about, playing outside & playing that harmonica. My dad is a blues musician, so when I was a child there was always a harmonica or two in our toy box, so I loved seeing how they took to this one…

I am so thankful for this little girl & for two years of normal everyday magic with her…
