New Years

Once Christmas was over it was time to plan round two - New Years with the McFadden Clan!!

It was so great to have everyone here! Jake has grown up wayyyyy too much, he is such a funny little man!

He had a ball in the bath with our two - so much for me worrying they would scare him like last time! LOL He was in his element, screaming with laughter and playing games! So much fun to see!

He is Thomas fanatic, so the Boys train set came out and calls of "Grandma, come" while patting the rug beside him was heard non stop!! Mind you the train set was supposed to go home with him, it somehow did not.......

We had lots of fun keeping Jake active and stop us being housebound! We went shopping and out for a coffee (you should see that little man get excited about a bubicino!!), to the park and to the lake. A new adventure each day!


We had a quite but fun NYE playing Buzz and laughing!! Great fun!

Chris and Shen arrived NY day which brought on Christmas fun again! Way too many presents - but so much fun to watch! All I wanted to do was see Mum and Dad open their present. I know they will LOVE cooking school at Bella Vedere!!!



Over dinner we also celebrated Mum's 60th Birthday. We got her a gorgeous Willow tree figurine called "Generations" and I put together a photo book of some of her photos from her life. They were all over the place so I was quite a task to find, scan and complie them - but I had so much fun doing it. I think she was a little taken aback!



It has been very odd around here now that everyone has gone.... Very quite (well as quite as a house with two seven year olds can be!!).. so we are looking at going to Gil for a few days and them maybe a camp by a river somewhere!!!
