Decorating the Christmas Tree

The kids were so totally excited this year!! They loved putting the tree up - and Tim wasn't grumpy at all (an absolute first)!!

Stuntgirl!

We shouldn't have been surprised to see this - but we were!! Em climbs up there all by herself!

High Tea at Impassion

On Sunday we went to High Tea at Impassion in Camden. I wish Tim would let me paint our walls at home the same red as the beautiful red walls there!!! (2 down, 100 to go!!)

Christmas Portraits

Jared's New Look Bedroom...

We decided to spruce Jared's room up a little bit to make it look more like a 'big boy room'...he loves his new canopy, 'shoe house' and basketball hoop (above the new toybox)...

Park Central

Jared and Emmy love riding bikes and feeding the ducks at Park Central...

Poppy's Old Motorbike...

It was hard to tell who was more excited about Poppy getting his old 1940s motorbike (last registered in 1978) going: Tim or the kids...they all loved going for a ride around the back yard - in the dark!!! We had a lovely time celebrating Poppy's birthday!

Planting Petunias...

After a good four years of absolute neglect in our garden we (Jared, Emmy and I) decided to plant ten white petunia plants...we had lots of fun watering - the watering can got totally clogged up within minutes!!

Halloween

Jared and Em dressed up for Halloween (we had special bags from our church to give out)...everyone loved the Kit Kats and Smarties....
