Merry christmas...and a happy NewYear!

early christmas presents

The children opened some of their christmas pressies early yesterday as we can not take them with us on our sa trip.So,thanks aunty Shanz for the great books and cds(they have been very occupied with those all weekend)and thanks to granny walker too for the clothes and toys,billy looks very cute in his safari jumpsuit!
We gave the kids their main presents too,a wooden dollshouse and a marbleracer toy.So,needless to say,the kids have NOT been bored this weekend,makes a change!.

Well,I must admit I am a sucker for christmas,I love this time of year(except the crowded shops).I guess growing up with a mum who was also big on christmas and who always went out of her way to make it special...has rubbed off on me!.I can do without all the hype though,the huge-materalistic side of it...good time to take stock and remember the true meaning aye?,whatever that meaning is for you.
Well with two bored kids on my hands,I decided to pull out our "lovely"artificial tree today and deco's and let jas and roob's go mad...well,the result was very funny...we now have a tree adorned with toy cars,plastic plate,a sponge and lots of gaudy tinsel...and yes,i know it's early to put the xmas tree up but,oh well!

Merry christmas!

KiaOra

Rose and andrew popped by today,AJ and I have both been slackers as we haven't seen oneanother in AGES.Billy had a nice cuddle with his uncle and also chucked up on his uncle a couple of times too,heehee.

Ruby was so cute this evening...going around watering all the flowers and plants..and grass..with her little watering can.

Jassie's birds Nest

Jas started talking about baby birds this morning(don't know why),anyway,we had an idea to make a birds nest...so,we hunted around for 'bits'and jasper,i think,created something very beautiful.He was so proud and I was proud of him.
It will make a sweet christmas deco too(we are having an early,mini christmas on the 23rd Nov before our BIG christmas celebration in south africa,but I think i have already said this before?).We are sooooo excited about our african trip,seeing the sights of CapeTown...oohhhh gosh!And meeting our little niece Katie.Just being with Davie's wonderful family is special,and for my children to meet their great granny Doyle,well,it is just sure to be an amazing time.
And only three-weeks untill we are there!!!

Growing and Learning new tricks...

I am a social wee fella,have started squealing and chuckling,especially when tickled(I am very ticklish).I have grown alot and am now in 3month+ clothes.I Adore my big bro and Sis and i look as if i can't wait to get up and play with them.Mum would not be surprised if i am crawling earlier as I just have a very alert nature.
I love going for walks in the stroller,being lifted up in the air,trying to roll when put on my tummy(daddy discovered me in my bed on my tummy one day).I just can't wait to get going!.
Sometimes,I'm startled by my own hands 'cause I sorta forget I have them for a minute and then I remember and I stuff them in my mouth!,I can get a whole fist in my mouth!.
What will I learn tommorow?
