Happy Christmas Everyone!

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.

Weeeeee!

Playing pass the parcel at Faithy's 4th Birthday party.

The cousins love playing together.

Lily with her chicken.

Unfortunately it turned into a rooster.........and our dinner!

Lily had her first hair cut. Oh dear....no more curls.

Best friends.

We wish you a very Happy Christmas and pray you enjoy celebrating the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Much love Rohan, Amanda, Lily and Jack.

It's been a while

Hello all!

It has been a while so thought I would update the blog. Jack is 2 and a half and Lily has just turned 4 going on 14! They are so much fun and we love them heaps!

Lily had a fairy party and Hungry Jacks with her friends. They all had a ball!


Keyurie is from her pre-school.
Lily is was so excited about the face painting. Crystal and Matilda are also from pre-school. What lovely faires. And a handsome little piarate on the end.Lily got a doll house from Mummy and Daddy for her bday...and lots of other goodies. Jack loves the doll house as much as she does (maybe even more!)

For those who know Roh well.....knows that he does not like cats. Lily asked for over 12 months for a cat and well....look! Blakie is now a part of the family.

We adopted him at 5 months old. The kids love him!

He was the only cat that let Lily pick him up and just stay there in her arms.
Jack was more interested in the cat toys!

We went on a camping trip at walk-about-wildlife park. It was great fun! Thanks Nana and Pa for the cool Christmas present. Jack is patting a dingo and Lily is looking at a bat.

This is the nice tent we stayed in.

Mummy turned 30 this year. Daddy threw her a big party. We all had a great time.

There was face painting at the party too. Pretty cat cousins!

Here is Lily with her friend Laura. Where is your tooth Laura??

Where is Lily and Jack?!

Lily got a baby alive doll for Christmas. Jack loves to help care for her too. Lily and Jack pretend to be Unlce Ben and Aunty Christelle and this is baby Starr. When she plays with me I am Uncle Ben.....i guess we do look alike!

Hiding again! Cubby house!

At Stockton Beach....it was a bit col but the kids didn't mind.

Daddy and Jack at McDonald Christmas.

Lily at Petterson Christmas. She got this Arial mermaid swimming suit. She loved it and we had trouble trying to get it off her and to wear other clothes in summer.

Santa came too!

Setting up the Christmas tree....the kids did a great job!

Jack turned 2 last December. Here is at his family party in the city. Look i can fly!

I love my Daddy!

Mummy made me a train cake and I got lots of nice presents. Thank you family!













Having a picnic lunch.

Jack also had a party with his little friends at home. Happy Birthday to you!

We gave him mega bloks for his birthday. He loved them!

We made a pinyata that had to be cut open in the end. The kids gave it a good go but Mummy added a few too many layers!

You can't go without pass the parcel!













Daddy on his Highland Fling race with Eric. Go Daddy!!!

What you looking at? Is it bad to wear a fairy dress and wings? They are blue!

Lily is very proud of her little cousin Starr.

We hope this finds you each well and safe.

See you soon.

Love the McDonalds.
