Goldie's First Birthday Party
To celebrate Goldie's birthday we had a little party at our friend's farm - Freshwater Creek Cottages, all of the kids absolutely loved the property and although they don't offer parties for the public they do offer really incredible accomodation if you're looking for a wholesome family holiday - think play equipment, gumboots, farm animals, tractors, bikes and trikes! Goldie tried her first piece of cake, skipped her afternoon nap and played the roll of “the parcel” in pass-the-parcel.
Think play equipment, gumboots, farm animals, tractors, bikes and trikes!
Thanks for all of our friends and family (near and far) for all of their support throughout our first year as parents! By far the most challenging and rewarding year of our lives.
