McDonalds Farm: December 2011

Dear Family and Friends,

The year has just flown by! Lily is going to 'big school' next year and Jack just turned 3 and is starting pre-school next year. Here they are on Jack's 3rd Birthday. They are such good friends. Jack misses Lily when she goes to pre-school.

Jack had a little party with his friends. He really wanted to play 'pass the parcel'.

He also requested a "blue cake train" so Mummy accommodated this.

What a cheeky boy!

Here is one of Lily's best friends from pre-school. Her name is Keyurie.

Lily had her Christmas concert last week and did such a good job at dancing and doing the actions. Here she is with her graduation certificate from pre-school. Well done, Lily!

We celebrated Christmas with the Petterson's a few weekends ago. It was a great family time.

Here is Pa reading the Christmas story of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ to the grandchildren.

The kids are very excited about the baby. Lily keeps telling Mummy how big her tummy is!

Daddy helped the kids plant a flower each.

The kids love playing with blocks. Particularly Jack who was making a race track for his cars.

We took Jack to Featherdale Wildlife park for part of his birthday present. He had a great time as did we all. Uncle Ben, Aunty Christelle and Starr came too!

The kids have started swimming lessons. We always have a swim afterwards.

Good job guys!

Lily and Jack love to have tea parties.

What a beautiful princess!

And a handsome prince!

Lily was helping Jack put on his sock. What a good big sister.

Lily is in the McDonald tartan kilt. Doesn't she look great?

Cousins having fun.

Ben, Christelle, Rohan and Amanda went away for a weekend to Hidden Valley. It was a great relaxing weekend. We went horse riding (well except Amanda coz she is pregnant) and everyone had a good time.
