Christmas Time!

Well it's that time of year again and we in this household get very excited when it's time to put up our Christmas decorations.

You may ask why so early?Well because we are going home,down south, for Christmas we thought it would be nice to have them up for a month. Also with the Smith Christmas just been, it made it feel alot more like Christmas!

The Helper's Lexie was trying to help with the glitter balls but instead...

Just loved rolling them along the ground.....or

Pulling them off the tree as we put them on the tree

Lexie sorting out and un-dangling the lights for the tree The most important job of all....the star! rrrrrrrrr Wa la!

On Sunday we had the joy of looking after two of Lexie's best friends.

Lily and Ella are sisters and we have been recently getting to know their family. lt's great they only live down the road from us,as the girls get on so well, just like their mums and dads, and always have alot of fun together.

Matt and Kara's Visit

For the last couple of days we have had Matt Kara and Jack stay with us.

They are on their happy trails back home now after time up north visiting Kara's family.

lt was lovely to see them and to finally meet Jack.

Lexie loved having "Bubby Jack" around and was very excited to show off all her tricks and play footy with her Uncle Matt. l think her favourite part of their visit was when she got to have a special cupcake for afternoon tea whilst Matt was looking after her, and of course the story times with Auntie Kara.

Now we just have to wait 7 weeks till we are down for Christmas.

Oh what fun that will be and how lm sure our Jack will have grown by then also.

Lexie's excitement obvious and Jack,ummmm not really sure?

Jack and Matt having a little chat. "Ummm Dad,a beer would be nice right about now"

"What?It's been a busy day".

Lexie trying to entertain Jack but he's not looking so interested.Maybe..?

Bath time together

Yeah alot happier

A little wash here and a little wash there.......

Ummm lm not sure if l want to wash that?

A Little Visit!

Last week we had the Jobling's come for a little overnight stay. Like always the children have a ball together and alot of fun and laughter is had.

Tamara and l even managed to take all three children to "Kinder gym",a kids exercise program for an hour. Wow,hard work but like l said alot of fun.

Thanks for coming guys!

New Play Spot!

Lexie was very lucky in that she received an early birthday present from Ma Ma and Pa. A hand made table and chair's.

Because of the love for them l couldn't bear to put it away till her birthday (plus lack of storage didnt allow) so we have made room for it in the toy room.

She just loves sitting up and reading books

Too Cute. "Thanks again Pa, l just love it!
