I find it hard to believe the little baby who never slept until we walked for ages holding her is now going to have her First Communion soon. Also cannot believe how a child of 8 cannot sleep before 10pm or wolf down a gigantic plate of food in 5 minutes without being sick, but thats another story!
Need to finalise preparations, we have family coming from abroad for her communion and almost 50 people over for lunch!
Going to make my standard fruit Christmas cake, with icing and put a cross on it from fondant with some writing.
Need to make a proper lunch with sorpotel/vindaloo, roast beef etc but husband thinks we should get a caterer. I think home made food is always nice and have yet to find a Goan caterer in Birmingham!
Dessert is a choice between blueberry white choc torte or mango mousse.
My inlaws are bringing some decorations and slices of the cake are going to go in small silver boxes with MIL's tiny satin flowers on the top. The cake boxes are going to be giveaways.
Hopefully the weather will be lovely and dry and the children can go out in the garden for the games. The thing with a varied age group is keeping them occupied. Have to delegate that to someone.
We have more or less settled in the new house now, other than the usual leftover bits. Now taking a break from all the doing up stuff bit and getting on with the usual stuff. Will get the boxes of books etc moved and then take some after pictures to post.
