My special star brought tears to my eyes.

This afternoon was Laurens school nativity play ~ which was called 'Humphrey the Camel!' ~ and after staying up until late last night getting the star outfit ready (Lauren was the giant dancing star!!) ~ I was excited to see how it all went!!

Well, I cannot deny that I had tears in my eyes (happens every year!) ~ the nativity was wonderful and considering the ages of the children (aged from 4 to 7 years) ~ they put on a fantatstic show for all the parents. Lauren did a little dance and held the star up high announcing the birth of baby Jesus ~ it was another day that I will remember forever.

Here she is ~ little miss dancing star!

She was very proud of her star ~ and I was quite pleased with the end result ~ I did cheat a bit and got the lady that lives next to me to sew the star with her sewing machine (tee hee) ~ then I stuffed it with the filling you use to stuff soft toys (also from the lady next door ~ thanks Joan!!) ~ then I tacked on the tinsel and there you go ~ a half decent star!! The outfit was made out of gold and white material which I bought this time last year ~ for the last nativity play!!

We were up early this morning so that Lauren could have her hair curled and she wanted to wear her star earrings ~ so she was happy with the end result and can't wait to do it all again tomorrow morning!!

Just a quick update from yesterdays weigh in ~ lost another 2 pounds ~ bringing the total to 4 stone and 11 pounds lost (67 pounds) ~ I now have my BEFORE pictures which were taken at the slimming club the first week I went (end of april this year) ~ just have to get to the AFTER photos ~ and then I will post them for you all to see (I have to get through Christmas first ~ all those mince pies ~ christmas pudding ~ baileys coffees and other yummy scrummy stuff!!)
