School holidays.

Children who are friends, particularly girls who give each other a hug when they wake up. I don't expect it to last but I do celebrate it.

On Huppa's (aka Grandpa's) bike, checking the water tanks with Dad, looking out for foxes, chattering to the cows. 

She's one happy two year old.

P.S. The cake is our favourite family birthday cake, The Utterly Awesome Chocolate Cake (did I seriously call it that?!) Everyone needs an excuse to make this every now and then.
