Today was Stir Up Sunday!!! For those who don't know, Stir Up Sunday is the traditional day for making Christmas Puddings and/or cakes. It's something to do with being the eighth Sunday after Trinity or something, idk.
Stir Up Sunday is a BIG tradition in our family and is something that Mum has instilled in Olivia and I to pass down to our families in the future. We stick on the Christmas Carols cd which we all sing along to and make the pudding together, taking it in turns to make a wish during the final Stir of the pudding... Christmas starts here!
Do you have Stir-Up Sunday too?
They were laughing at Daddy's wet shirt... (??)
And we're off! Christmas Pudding 2009 in the making...
Nearly there... can't you just smell Christmas looking at this...
Mum making her wish!
Olivia's turn...
Oh dear... say cheeeese!
Last but not least!
After lunch, a lovely surprise - BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!!! (It was a Me To You bear cake)
So Birthday celebrations are now officially over until next year. I have been thoroughly spoilt this week by friends and family and between my Chocolate Fudge cake from Dad and today's cake from Mum & Co, I have leftover cake coming out of my ears! Would anyone like some?!
I hope you have all had great weekends too!
