Weekend catch ups are fun

The sun was out shining away and we had our wonderful friends Courtney, Erin, Enzo and Max come over for a visit a couple of weeks ago.

I decided to make a beautiful orange cake for morning tea but I didn't have any oranges.  Our lovely neighbours Suz and Matt came to the rescue with 4 home grown oranges picked fresh from their tree. Orange cake is a really fast, easy cake to make which always comes out beautifully.  I made a 1.5 batch and froze half for another day.  I'll have to put the recipe up on the blog.

 Uncle Greg and I got our baby fix.  Look at little Max, he is just devine.

In my element!

The sisters had some time to catch up finally - gorgeous girls.

I'm completely bummed that I didn't get a picture of the boys playing outside.  Next time I will have to be more of a camera demon.  Such a lovely morning.

Later in the day I was on a baking roll and made a double batch of Weetbix slice - it's a favourite here.

YUM MUM!

Greg cracked the whip and cut up some fire wood.  We wont freeze tonight for for a while yet thank goodness.

The cats had a nice rest on our bed with the sun streaming in the window.  They have a great life those furballs!

An exciting week next week as it is Alex's birthday.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend too.

Love
