Holidays

Time to get away from the cold city and have fun in the sun

Tabitha gets to sit on the banana boat...

...and a plastic dog.

Daddy and me...just the same!

We went to visit a lady from one of the churches.
This is the amazing view from her apartment!

Christmas Day 2008

Looks like we were good enough after all!

Getting Messier

Yay - my first car!

Showing Nonnie and Papi what we got

Opening presents and saying thank you (Oscar gets his milk finally!)

Boys toys

Now that's what I call a Kinder egg!

Looking the part

Arantza comes down and we go out (dressed the same) on our new bikes

We go to her house and play wit her new baby bath (she has the coolest nativity scene)

One bath + 2 toddlers = conflict

Oops, perhaps I went a little too far...but I'm still annoyed!

Problem averted, we go back out on our bikes (admired by the neighbours) and get my baby

Friends again

Really, we love each other!

First Christmas dinner

Post dinner karaoke

Could have had a nice picture of Oscar by the tree if he hadn't been enjoying the cup so much

Out on the swing

A pretty dress won't stop me!

A bit girly but all the more reason to obliterate it

Sweet gathering a rather peaceful affair

Family photo - the best of several attempts

All of us together

Christmas Eve

What better gift for a stocking than me!

I can tell this little Santa isn't the real one - he has a fake beard!

Christmas Eve sparklers. They're for sale everywhere at this time of year.

Everything's ready. Just got to go to sleep now.

Sick

Christmas week didn't start to well.
We were all sick so it was nice to have Daddy home from work to give us cuddles.

Christmas teaser

Just a little preview of our Christmas Day until we have time to put the photos on (hopefully tonight). Starts with the kids asleep on Christmas Eve (Oscar had a horrible cold!), goes to Tabitha singing as she wakes up and then on from there through the day. Enjoy!

How to do shopping

I've always hated shopping but I've discovered it can be fun. On Saturday we went to the shops and I got a new pair of shoes. Then we found the coolest play place. We didn't have a camera but we got some shots on Daddy's phone. Sorry about the quality...
I think I preferred the princess dress...

Oscar seems like a natural behind the wheel.

Quick, take me to Santa I know what I want for Christmas!

A new skill - paddling!

Too much fun!Mummy and Daddy knew when it was my turn on this slide. I screamed all the way from the top to the bottom - something I learned from some older girls but that proved to make it so much fun. Who knew sliding down a carpet slide on a toboggan could be such a thrill!

Piñatas

Something special must be about to happen.
Look at these huge piñatas.

Mr Jeremy Fisher

Reading my favourite Beatrix Potter book to Baby.

Gingerbread House

A very exciting activity today. We've been looking forward to opening this box for ages.

Oh, this is so promising!

Why do we have to mke things with them, can't we just eat them?

OK, but as long as you promise we can eat them later.

Can I eat it now?

Oscar wants some too...

Christmas baking

Mmmmm, Now I know there's more to Christmas but the food is fun to prepare.
This week we got to work making cookies...

Tasteful decorating requires thought

So when do we get to eat them?

Oops, looks like Tabitha opened the fridge door for Oscar again.

Yes, I know they look horrible but they're supposed to be Christmas wreaths and I thought they tasted good...
