Holiday highlights

We are home,which is always nice but,we have had an amazing four weeks in south afica.What were the highlights?well,where to start!.............
I think pilanesburg was definately up there...especially the lovely airconditioned hotel room with the pool outside!but,Sun city was great,the kids loved the huge wavepool,and all the games inside the casino.Another trip was Kimberley,an interesting place,not just for it's diamond mining history,the city also has a big lake that is full of pink flamingos!.Capetown was awesome too.
We saw our youngest child baptised on the 7th december at ST lukes church in welkom,and we had a braai afterwards and a special cake and it was all really nice.We had afew braai's(BBQ's)actually.Christmas eve was spent outside(another braai!),grandpa went and pointed out santa claus's sleigh+reindeer in the night sky later on and then it was time to put out a glass of milk+a snack for santa before bed! christmas day began early(I think the grandparents were more excited than the kids because they were up the earliest!),it was both billy and Katies' first christmas,billy also had his first taste of real food too(Pears,he had a funny discusted look but we think he liked it?).I've never seen so many presents!! We saw Great-granny doyle celebrate her 90th!.We spotted giraffe,rhino,springbok and antelope while driving along the highway in the freestate!.It was very hot in welkom so the kids spent alot of time in their grandparents pool,and billy had his first swim too.
I will just have to let our pitchures do the explaining as i am far too tired and this post is far too long anyway!
Happy NewYear to you all.
