Last weekend when Mum was playing with the very scary vacuum cleaner, Dad and I snuggled back into bed with Jessie and read some books. It was fantastic. These are the sunglasses that santa gave me for christmas. I don't like to wear them for more than a few minutes at a time but i do think they're pretty cool.
Today was Daddy's birthday. Mummy and I made him a rugby ball chocolate cake and after dinner I helped Dad blow out those candles. I am getting the hang of it and I love singing "Happy birthday to you" and clapping at the end.
This afternoon it was lovely and warm and I had two swims in the paddling pool. One while Mummy watched and one while daddy watched. I didn't want to get out either time. It is a lot of fun. You can even make cups of tea when you are swimming!
This morning Mum, Baby Bethany and I had a tea party in the lovely Invercargill sunshine. It was fantastic. There was water everywhere - Nana will be so jealous she missed it. Nana just loves to play with water.
Daddy flew to Taranaki to meet us for christmas and we all spent Christmas day with Nana and Grandad, Great Nana, Aunty Susan and Bradley. It was such a lovely day that everyone forgot to take pictures. we were all ver spoilt and got lots of lovely things. Bradley got this cool table and chairs for christmas and I got the tea set on it - I love making cups of tea for everyone. The next day, Mummy, Daddy and I drove to Palmerston North to see my Grandma and Uncle Hamish, Aunty Faith, Uncle David and Aunty Jamie. We had a lovely time staying there, even though I got a really sore tummy and was sick and a bit grumpy for most of the time. Grandma is really clever. She made me a winnie the Pooh duvet and a mattress and sheets for the dolls cot she gave me for Christmas. It is really cool. We spent heaps of time building up towers and knocking them down again, and having swings and slides at the park around the corner.
On New Years Day, we went back to Nana and Grandad's in Hawera, and I saw Bradley again - YAH! We were all very sad to leave there on Thursday to go back to the 'butterfly house' we live in, in Invercargill. Thank you to everyone, for looking after us so well. We love you xxx
I have been to all my favourite places and seen so all of my favourite people over christmas. It has been a BIG adventure. First of all Mummy and I flew to Hamilton to see my friend MacKenzie. She is lots of fun. We giggle together whenever we can - in the bath, in the car, when we play... It was a special weekend for her as she was getting baptised. She looked very beautiful on the day and it was lovely for us to be with her. This is my Mummy and MacKenzie when it was all over. It was a very big day for everyone.
Then we flew to Taranaki to see Nana and Grandad - It was Nana's birthay. We had dinner at Aunty Susan's - and I got to play with Bradley!!! He is the best. I get very, very excited when I know I am going to see him and luckily we got to play together lot while we stayed with Nana and Grandad. We especially, love to have races outside on the bikes,
and go for a walk in the paddock behind Nana and Grandad's house. We even got to pat a cow, when we went with Grandad. Yah! When we go walking with Nana, we like to collect little bits of wood and make boats to float on the river.
Yesterday was Mummy's birthday and we had a lovely day. In the morning I bought Mummy some suprises into her bed. I had a card that I wrote in just for her and a wee presey for us to open. Then we opened up lots of other cards and presents too. We made the biggest mess but had the most fun! Daddy and I took Mummy out for lunch too. Then after dinner I helped Mummy to blow out the candles on her birthday cake. Although, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, so mostly I just watched. It was a pretty exciting game though. Bradley is going to teach me how to do it properly at Nana's birthday which isn't very far away. Yah!! We all had a lovely day. Mummy says that everyone was very kind to her and that she was very spoilt. Lucky old Mummy.
Today we all put up the christmas tree. It was great fun. There were so many christmas goodies in the box to look at and then hang on the tree. There was a santa hat to try on too. Even Jessie wanted a turn with that.
