A little Christmas story.....

 A funny little story just before Christmas.....

Our Shingle Inn Christmas cake .....

I was going out and really wanted to keep the Christmas cake for visitors closer to the day....

So I left this note on the cake..... 

We did try it earlier just to make sure it tasted good enough for visitors..... lol

On my return home this note was waiting for me.....

I don't think our children ever grow up.....

Rob hid the first note and then told Heather it was ok for them ( Gav, Rob and Heather) to have  a slice for morning tea while I was out.....

after having coffee and cake Rob put the first note back for Heather to see....

Rob's way of getting his sister in trouble.....

so hence Heather's note.....

Kids will be kids....

Happy stitching....
