Christmas 2007

Christmas presents seem to have been coming for quite a few days now, and it's not over yet. We decided to open our present boxes from Grandma and Grandpa on Christmas eve morning... The girls loved opening their boxes with a variety of toys and books inside.
Then on Christmas eve we got presents from Nanny and Poppy and aunties as well as one or two from Mum and Dad.
Emily got a new keyboard, complete with microphone.
Abi got a new bike!

Then on Christmas day, there were more presents from Mum and Dad as well as Santa of course.
Abi got a new 'Dora' kite, which she enjoyed flying with Daddy and Poppy. Emily loved her animal puzzle and thought that anything Abi could do she could do better (or at least try to do!)We had a lovely Christmas, pretty quiet with both Kellie and Lisa in other places, but a nice family time all the same.

Kellie's Wedding 15th December

Little Kellie Jane got married to the lovely Roland on weekend. An outdoor wedding is always risky, but it stopped raining 15mins before we walked down the isle and although it was a little chilly during the ceremony it turned out to be perfect weather for dancing and relaxing in the marque.

Kellie looked beautiful and was certainly a blushing bride.



It was a little chilly....

The girls had a great time dancing the night away.

Hammock

Summer time is here.... so that means lazy days in hammock.

Christmas Tree decoration

Earlier in the month we brought our tree in from outside and decorated it for the festive season.

ok, that's enough now ...

Riding Lessons

Abi's riding lessons are going well. She has only had 3 and is already able to turn, stop and start all by herself (it helps to have a great pony that knows the drill).

She loves it, unlike Emily who very clearly said "No" when asked would she like to sit on the pony... ahh well, give her time, she'll come round.

Emily thinks it's much more fun to sit on the side lines an cheer with Poppy.

Warmer Weather

Well, the warmer weather has hit so it's time to throw off those Winter clothes and prepare for Summer. Some water safety in the paddling pool is a good start to prepare for those days spent by the pool later in the season.

When the weather warms up it is very important to protect your eyes, whilst looking very cool in the process.And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the weather, there is always time to get stuck in a chair....
and dress up as a clown!
And to those we don't manage to catch up with before Christmas - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.
