Our Holiday!

So we went on holiday for a few weeks to the sea and it was sooooooooo cool!
We took Grumpy & Noni along to make sure there were enough people to play with, and luckily we did cause from morning to night it was just go go go and Mom & Dad couldn't keep up with the rest of us fit people...we reckon they just lazy, bah who wants to read on holiday anyway?

We saw lots of cool things & ate lots of cool things and just had a blast, we wish holiday would never ever end but sadly the time came for the VERY long car ride home, and boy did we let the parentals know just how upset we were! They say communication is key :)

Beach Baby
Beach Babes
Building a "puddle" for Nevie-Bums
Stomping puddles
A beach holiday wouldn't be a beach holiday without the waffles - as demonstrated by Neve
Others weren't quite so interested with the food as much as with the echo over the lagoon!
Exploring the rock pools
Look down here Mom!
We found a HUGE dead crab, so cool (except for Mom who says it's yuck!)
So much scrumptiousness - and no not talking about oros!
Us
And the whole fandamily!
Of course we had to go to the aquarium - seals just rock!
Look at those fish up there Nevie-bums!
And of course while we were on holiday Neve officially turned one :)
Kissing her dolly!
And a big squeeze
Birthday cake at the butterfly farm - yum yum yum!!!

Seth & Neve - Birthday Party!!!

It was really cool, the other day we woke up and there was a jumping castle in the garden and Mom was very busy doing things in the kitchen and we heard the word "Party" a lot.

Before we knew it there were loads of people, presents, food & fun!
It WAS a PARTY!!!

We had so much fun, thank you to everyone who came and helped make it the best day eva!

Snack time!
Present time!
Neve not so sure about singing happy birthday
Seth letting everyone sing happy birthday for a change!
Neve's cake
Red Velvet Cupcakes...YUM!
On the jumping castle!

Neve - Cause I'm Gorgeous and I Can!

Not sure if I let you know I can walk?
Cause I can and it's all sorts of awesome, especially now that I've almost caught up to Seth...just a few more years to go...
Mom's been trying to get nice photos of me but now that I move at lightening speed I'm quite good at foiling her best laid plans!

Mom wanted a pic of me in my cute outfit, isn't my bird cool...it comes all the way from a friend in Germany! Pity I was so fast she chopped off half my head!
And here I am in slight blur again, Seth helped make me pwetty with my hairband! And this is me en route to welcome home the Dad! See how I excited I was I just chucked my doll to one side!

Little did I know I had good reason to be excited, he came home bearing birthday gifts from my fairy godfather, uncle Wickus...a whole bag full of naartjie clothes for me. Here's me trying some of the stuff out, thank you uncle Wickus!
And then Seth got the bestest present of his whole life, a humungous jumbo jet, complete with cargo carrier, passenger seats and a full on toilet & basin!
It goes everywhere with him...
...even to come say hello to me when I wake up from my nap!

Seth - I Turned 3!!

That's pretty big right?

My birthday was really cool, there were another load of presents to open and a yummy cake to eat.

Just wish people would stop with the happy birthday song already, I hate that song!

When I woke up in the morning I found a whole load of presents on the table, it was really funny! I kept asking which presents were for Mom, Dad & Neve but they said they were all for me cause it was my birthday...I could hardly believe it!

Neve had a peek too and her eyes got really big!
I opened so many presents, there were books
& Zoobs

& trains & tracks (see the wrapping paper flying through the air - that's cause I just chuck it to one side quick sticks as soon as I've pulled it off the pressie)
There was a space shuttle & astronauts
And best of all there was my very own bike!
Which I just about fit on once the seat was adjusted
Then we had fun playing & Neve was wondering what I was doing...
...just making glasses Nevie-bums!
Then off to Grumpy & Noni's & Mikey's for more fun & presents
Which is where I got an awesome ice cream cake...yum yum yum...
& a plane...got to be the best cake EVA!
But then everyone tried to sing happy birthday to me and I got all hot & bothered and told them to stop!
I can't smile Mom, I'm too busy eating ice cream & smarties...but I can pull this face just quick for the camera!

Seth - Portrait of Dad

I got this cool thing for Christmas that lets me draw and I'm having lots of fun practising my art work.

Today I did a portrait of Dad

Seth - CHRISTMAS!

It was wonderful wonderful Christmas this year, we had so much fun.
We decorated our own tree, made cards and hung up the ones we got in return, baked cookies, shopped for present, swam loads, ate lots of yummy stuff and got lots of present!!!

Here's some photos of what we got up to!

The Christmas Tree
The other bits & bobs - we had to stick them up where Nevie couldn't get them!
Some of our cards - we got so many!!!
Looking for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve - luckily I had my telescope with to try track him down
Nevie & Dad had a look too!
When we went back inside it turned out Father Christmas is sneakier than I thought and had managed to slip inside without us spotting him, although Mom did say she saw a glimpse of him on the roof near the chimney. Here we are checking out the stash!
We all got turns to open presents, even Neve
Here's me opening one of mine

And Dad helped us all
The next morning we discovered Father Christmas had made a stop at out house too and hidden a few things under our tree. I think it's cause we decorated it so nicely, he just had to stop and have a look.
Neve got some really cool pots and pans that I like a lot too!
Here's me concentrating hard, it's quite serious work opening presents!
My awesome Meccano set!

Thank you to everyone who gave me & Nevie and Mom & Dad presents this year, you made it a wonderful Christmas for us all!!!
