Boxing Day

Just a "few" of our presents!

Playing Charades...can you guess the song? Something to do with what we are pointing at...thats big...and we like them!

Christmas Day

Looks like we had a visitor last night...and he was hungry and thirsty too!

Will says... it may be Christmas but let me at my Weet-Bix!

Harrison got the hang of his new roller blades very quickly.

Harrison got a remote control helicopter from Nanny and Grandad...it's Daddy's favourite present!

Yummy Turkey lunch made by Nanny!!

Great fun swimming in the pool!

With our Mummy....

Yearly pic by the tree with our cousins Zachary and Rose... maybe our grins have something to do with the fact that we know 95% of all those presents are for us!!!!

Santa made a special visit to Auntie Pam's house with a sack full of presents!

Daddy got a whole carton of this cool present! It's called Brad's Brew and says "perfect for fishing and off roading". For those of you who follow Seinfeld it also features the saying "Serenity Now".

Nanny and Auntie Pam entertained us with their dancing.

Sitting with Grandad with my supply of cheese and bacon balls...yum!

Santa Float

Every year Nanny takes us on the Santa Float which cruises the streets of Forestdale (soon to be our home too!). It's great fun and is led by a police car and followed up by a fire engine...what more could a kid want?

Santa

Here we are having our turn on the float! Harrison and Will are waving good bye (though the camera seems to have caught Harrison mid-wave and it kind of looks like nose pick LOL!)

Who drugged my food?

Daddy made this toast for me and I was under the impression it had vegemite on it????

Posers!!

The boys were in the mood to pose for the camera today so I took advantage and got some great pics! Thanks to their good friend Andrew for sending them these great shirts all the way from America -I guess a little birdie must have told you that Harrison loves reptiles and Will loves Bob the Builder!

Harrison's Preschool Christmas Concert

Auntie Pam, Nan, Mummy and Will had a lovely time watching Harrison's Christmas Concert. He sang the Christmas songs beautifully and played the part of Rudolph very well.

Harrison had made a beautiful card and present for Mummy and Daddy which was a lovely Christmas wreath and a compilation of his work throughout the year. He received a lovely book as a present from the preschool and a commemorative certificate and photograph seeing he has completed the last ever year of preschool to be held in Queensland.

It's Christmas at Yugumbir Preschool...

Singing Christmas songs is a serious business!

The star of the show - Rudolph!

"Merry Christmas to you and to you and to you!"

Harrison gives Mrs Knezevic a hug goodbye...

The First of many Christmas Parties...

Since Harrison was 16 weeks old we have been meeting this lovely group of children (and Mums!!) every fortnight to play. It has been lovely and this year ending is a little sad as the children will be going to Grade One next year! We will still meet and the younger siblings will enjoy their regular play date and our "big babies" will meet for a play each school holiday break. We had a lovely Christmas party this year at Tracy's house.

Waiting patiently by the tree for the presents to be handed out!

Will's Secret Santa brought him a truck - he was very impressed!

Harrison's "Secret Santa" brought him a cool Dinosuar book which went down very well!

Happy Birthday Harrison!

Harrison had a "Geckoes Wildlife Party" to celebrate his birthday this year. He invited his family and friends plus some very cool reptiles and animals... there was a tree frog, lizards, snakes, crocodile, turtles and a glider. As you may or may not know, harrison LOVES reptiles and it showed! He was right at home with them.

The birthday cake - made by Mummy and Daddy!

All dressed in his Steve Irwin gear (a much exclaimed over present from Will) and ready for the guests to arrive!

Grown up Graduate!

Attention everyone!! Harrison has officially graduated from Preschool and is moving on to bigger things! We had a lovely evening at his Graduation Ceremony. There was a special service booklet featuring the names of the graduates and he received a lovely certificate. We enjoyed all the songs the graduates entertained us with and Will enjoyed eating fistfuls of Twisties at the supper afterwards!

Our very precious baby...

How cute is our baby brother or sister? The Doctor says it only has a fine amount of fair hair! He/she is growing very well and should weigh in around 7 and a half pounds or so. We are very excited...Harrison is talking to the baby and tapping some morse code through my tummy - would you believe the baby taps back LOL! Will doesnt quite understand but kisses my tummy which is very cute.

Budding Artist

Harrison was very proud of the canvas he created for the Preschool artshow - as were we! It is entitled "Bushwalking in the Rain". It was displayed in the show at the library and is now displayed in our home.

We've seen Santa!

Santaland!

Harrison, Will, Mummy and Nanny went to visit Santa at "Santaland" in the Brisbane Myer Centre. The boys boarded the Santa Train for a ride while they waited for their turn to visit Santa in his little house. They each received a special gold ticket to board the train which was punched by the conductor. After their ride they received a special Santa bag with a Santa drink, kangaroo shaped potato chips and jelly beans. Will was a little bit nervous around Santa but "tolerated" his presence! He was quite fond of the motorised Rudolph though. Harrison was right at home and happily reeled off his requests! Santa gave them each a gorgeous little teddy bear which they can hang around their necks.

A magical atmosphere...

The train is waiting at the station!

Here we come!

Big smiles!
