Ella is Lachie, Lily and Eden's only cousin - they have heaps of second-cousin-once-removed's, but for now Ella's the only "true" cousin - and it's so great that she's the same age as Lily!
Lachie and Lily were excited about Ella's birthday party. 
Eden knew something was going on when I put her in a pretty dress.
This isn't what Lily wore to the party though, she changed her mind later (she's like that!)
Lachie made the most of Ella's waterslide...Lily thought it was a bit cold!
Exhausted kids that afternoon! ~*~
Here's Lachie's "little" cut, and the black eye that followed our trip to Wellington.
