YUMMY FOOD AND FANTASTIC CAKE

These are some more pics from our special day. My cousin Bradley is the coolest. I can't wait to be able to run around after him with Kate.

JACK AND SAM ARE BAPTISED!

Yesterday Jack and I were baptised.

We had the loveliest day.

Lots of really special people came to see us. These are two of my God parents - Aunty Catherine and Uncle Andrew. Aunty Sarah wasn't able to be with us but she rang me up and that was pretty cool.

Jack and I were both very happy boys and very spoilt too.

SANTA CAME AND ATE THE COOKIES...

"Daddy, come look! Santa came and ate all the cookies and drunk the pineapple juice! And there's parcels. Daddy, come look!"

Christmas day was very exciting. We all got to open presents and play with lots of the cool things inside. Bradley and Jack came with their Mummy and Daddy for lunch. And we saw Great Nana and Great Aunty Margy in the afternoon. It was brilliant.

And best of all, my daddy had finally arrived to stay with us at Nana's house - "hooray!!!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR NANA"

On Nana's birthday we had a party at Bradley's house.

Everybody was there - Grandad, Aunty Tom, Uncle Si, Bradley, Jack, Mummy, Sam and Nana. We had great fun - again!

We helped Nana to blow out her candles and sung "Happy Birthday" a lot! Then we got to have some cake .

After lunch we played all sorts of games. It was a great day.

A BBQ BY THE POOL

Bradley and Jack came to have a barbeque with us at Nana's house. Jack hangs out on the floor a lot watching what we are all up to. I kept him company for a little while before jumping in the pool with Bradley.

We sung lots of songs while we were in there - as loud as we could!Sam had a swim too but afterwards he played with Nana and watched us dancing around.

Then Bradley and I went driving in the car again. Bradley is the driver. He likes to beep the horn. I think he is just the best!

TO THE BEACH AGAIN - YAY!!!

On Sunday Nana and Grandad took us all to the beach at Ohawe. It was beautiful and very hot again.

Nana and I made lots of cool sand castles (which Sam likes to knock down!)

and Grandad helped me get water to make the castles stand up well. I love the waves and like to go right out amongst them.

"WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH MUMMY!"

On Saturday, Mummy, Sam and I drove to Mokau beach to meet MacKenzie, Aunty Sarah and Granny Sue.

We had the best time!! We all loved the water especially and kept all the big people on their toes helping us jump in the waves.

Everybody got very very wet - it was great!

Playing the sand was a lot of fun too and afterwards we got to go to a cafe and have a lovely drink because it was so very hot.

Thanks for coming to meet us all Aunty Sarah, MacKenzie and Granny Sue. xxx

VISITING WELLINGTON

Today Mummy and Grandma took Sam and I to visit Paula, Jessica and her new baby brother Zach in Wellington. It was a big adventure and we had lots of fun playing with Grandma while Mummy and Paula talked and talked and talked...

GRANDMA'S HOUSE

Kate and I have come to stay at Grandma's house for a little while. We have been hanging out having lots of giggles and adventures together.

Kate and Grandma have decorated the christmas tree (while I supervised the decorations) and have played with the "little peoples" house A LOT! I love the "little peoples playground" and like to play with that the best.

It has been so lovely and hot here that Kate and I have been able to have a swim outside in the pool.

That was great and cooled us all down, due to the splashing! Afterward Grandma and I felt good enough to sit outside and read the papers together!

JACK AND I

"Mummy, I love Jack. He is sooo coote."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY

Mummy had a birthday party yesterday and Bradley and Jack came. Kate and Bradley helped Mummy blow out the candles on the cake while Jack and I were still fast asleep. When we got up though, we got to play with each other and Kate and Bradley too. I especially loved the party hats!

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

The people who live next door to Nana and Granddad have the coolest friends on their lawn. It was very very exciting watching them get put up. Bradley and I go over to visit every chance we get. Most of the street has got Christmas lights up all over their houses. It is just magical!

STAYING WITH NANA

Daddy went to Australia for work without us, so Mummy, Sam and I all came to stay with Nana and Granddad in Hawera.

We are staying here until after Christmas. It is so much fun.

Bradley and I have been having lots of adventures inside and outside in the lovely weather.

We are all very happy here, although we miss our Daddy and are looking forward to seeing him soon.

DANCING AND DRUMS

Today I have been dancing all around the house. Sam plays the drums and Tad the frog sings the music while I dance around on tippy toes. Casey swishes along with me sometimes. We are especially good at twirling.

SUNSHINE!

In the weekend we flew all the way to Tauranga to see Uncle Hamish get married. it was very exciting. All of my Daddy's family was there. My favourite person is Grandma - she is the best. We had lots of fun together. Aunty Jaime was there too - she is Sam's favourite person. He laughs and laughs and laughs with her. It was a lovely sunny weekend. By the time we got home to Invercargill, the sunshine had arrived there too. It has been so warm that today Sam and I were able to play outside in the water - we used the baby bath as a swimming pool. It was great fun!
