Christmas Day/Boxing Day

We spent Christmas Day with Grandpa, Amanda, Nick, Harrison and Ben. We all went out for quite a civilized lunch at the Sofitel in Brisbane. The children all did really well and behaved beautifully. There was entertainment, a band, a balloon artist and SANTA. As you can see Kate still wanted nothing to do with Santa (poor Santa).
On Boxing Day we headed to the coast and spent more time with the cousins and Nana and Poppy. Ben got a Pirate Ship from Nana. The photo of the boys is a bit "ebony and ivory", Daniel is so fair! Kate also enjoyed sitting on Nana's little chair.
We'll head back to the coast for New Years Eve.

Christmas!! Episode One

Daniel and Kate were lucky to get a TRAMPOLINE for Christmas! Here's some video of Daniel.

Mister Three!

Daniel turned three on 11 December. He now informs us he is a big boy and getting bigger and bigger.
This birthday was a subdued affair. Grandma and Grand-dad were there which was lovely for Daniel. Nana, Poppy, Harrison, Marina, Joseph, Elizabeth, Jane, Madelyn, Lachlan and Jensen all came for a small party. Grand-dad even played the guitar for the children.
Daniel requested a "moon cake". He received some lovely presents, like the soccer net from Nana and Poppy. He was also lucky enough to have a visit the next day from the Mel, Hamish and Annabelle, and then at Family Day Care another party and a pinata. Phew! Busy times when you are three!
