Our visit to Canberra

Hello!
Well Jaimeson and I had a fantastic time in Canberra! Here are a few pics taken on my iphone, I'm so happy its always with me! Yvette has more pics on her blog if you're interesting in seeing what else we got up to!
We had morning tea at Silo in Kingston, which one of the guys at work is always banging on about, so it was cool to check it out! We shared a Orange Brulee tart and a Passionfruit Mascapone tart.... {Salivating} They were delicious! I do love a good eggy tart, so the Brulee one was probably my fave. Check out Silo if you're in the area. (It also reminded me of St Malo Bakery at Crows Nest which we went to for Alicia's birthday last year. Check it out too for a world of YUM!)
We went to Costco, which was fun to see what other people are interested in! I mean, how often do you go grocery shopping with someone else? Never? Yep! Yvette got things I hadn't bought there before but might buy e.g. An industrial sized bottle of Cinnamon (which I got when I went back today, I may be slightly enjoying Costco!!) and slivered almonds for really cheap. I think she enjoyed pushing Jaimeson around in his pram while I pushed the trolley too {smiles}.
We did some scrappin (which I'll share in another post, once I take pics of them!) and Yvette scrapped a page of Jai for me to take home too. So cool! I love having Yvette-made pages in my album, cos they are uber awesome. She's got fantastic style {truth!} She's such an inspiration for me :) And looking at her albums was a great way to kick me out of always doing the same looking layout!
We talked about vintage shopping, got inspired and bid on some things on ebay and etsy! And now we're waiting for them to come in the mail, hooray!! {high five!}
We walked Tassy to and from school a couple of times and hung out at home eating delicious homecooked food & choc chip cookies!
Tassy was an excellend "big sister cousin" for Jai too! See Jai holding onto the ring of "Skip" his toy owl in this pic (of us in our PJ's!) Tassy taught him to do that! Before this week he was just holding toys wedged between his 2 flat palms, and now he can grasp onto the rings! Great work Tassy!
Thank you sooooo much for having us Yvette, it was awesome to be able to come down and stay with you! We loved it!
Did you love it too Jaimeson? Yep {hooray face!!}
And we are sooo excited that we get to see you again at DP in 3 weeks! {double hooray!}
