Happy Christmas!

The close of another year is upon us and what a big year it has been. 

We all survived the first year of school for Lexie...Hooray!

We all watched our mighty Mitchell thrive and "wake-up and do life" so so well!

Nathan and l continued to feel so blessed with all the "highs and lows" of work, parenthood and our relationship with eachother.

Thankyou for sharing in our year of 2012 whether big or small. Means more to us then you realise.

May 2013 be of happiness and health for you all!

Take Care and God Bless.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwah! 

From the Heinys

Brisbane...

Earlier in the month you would have seen my post about my dear Grandfather Clyde Lange who passed away.

Well the time came not long after for us to celebrate his life.

The funeral was in Brisbane so Nathan and I were up bright and early one morning to catch our flight and join all family up there.

As you will see by the photos, it was a blessed time to be able to all get together both with my family and also with extended family.

Also a massive THANK YOU goes to Ma Ma for coming across to Echuca during harvest time to look after our children so well.

The "parentals"

Beauiful Zara Ruby Annalise Smith

My "familiars"

We all visited Auntie Anne's grave to place the rest of the flowers down

Uncle John and his new wife Macy

These ladies love to show their legs, every time they together its the "shot"

Sweet Sisters

All the "Lange" girl cousins

Lads

Brothers and Sisters

So Nathan and I needed to hire a car for the day... ..

I actually think the "Nathans" had the most fun in"Mike" the Micra!

Lexie's Birthday!

Finally.....the wait was over, after my calender being made very colourful with all the "mark-off" of sleeps and a super excited little girl.  It was time to turn 6!!

The event was made even more exciting but the arrival of Ma Ma, Aunty Lou, Toby and Beau back from the birthday adventures in Sydney.

Gotta love matching bubbas.....(some of us love it)

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking? First one to give a big smile gets to give Ma Ma a cuddle".....

.....Good thing Ma Ma has two strong arms

Anyway back to the birthday girl and up bright and early ready for her big day!!

Special rice bubbles for breakfast and jobs done ready for school before opening presents.

And what time that took, reading every word written for her.

Feel the sibling love.....

The trampoline cake with a kind thanks to the Marvellous Ma Ma and Lovable Laura for their help.

Time to sing but Mitchell was not sure about the tune we all held. Hahaha

I was told by Lexie that she had a great day even though she didn't feel "6" yet. Also that the cake was better then the picture. Whoo Hoo! So what more could a Mum want really! Love you princess!

 

Great Grandpa

Today a Father,Grandpa and Great Grandpa got what their heart truly desired 

and left this world to be in their true home-Heaven.

You played the bag-pipes so well Great Grandpa and now you can play non-stop with those beautiful angels and others that love you dearly.

Look forward to seeing you smile when we meet again.

God bless you Grandpa, Love always.
