		<description><![CDATA[The new topic we&#8217;re doing for French is clothing. So I thought it would be a fun idea to find paper dolls for the kids to dress. Ideally, I wanted some they could colour themselves. I found I was rather overwhelmed with options! Eventually though, I found this collection which seemed to work:-) I collected [...]]]></description>

I maintained it until probably May-ish last year, and then a few times a week for about another 12 months. This year?

I had other ideas, but finally decided that the front runner was a particular one I&#8217;ve had my eye on. I delayed starting it though, because at the size it would end up, it would either be really plain, or excessively fiddly. Then, other people started posting theirs, and there was a definite theme:-) (Unsurprisingly, [...]]]></description>

We don&#8217;t do much for first birthdays, we keep it simple. But there is always cake:-)
Cygnet is generally a smiley fellow (although, not so much today:-( ) So we figured this was an appropriate choice!
I&#8217;m not a fan of licorice as a flavour—but it is invaluable in decorating cakes:-)

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s image for Puggle&#8217;s birthday flag was a Dalek. Although he&#8217;s only briefly seen the smallest sample of them (Daleks take Manhatten), he was smitten! This is the year he made his dalek costume for the Masquerade:-)
