Beach Baby, Beach Baby........

Since summer has arrived, we decided to take a trip to the beach,
for some swimming, beach cricket and fish n chips.

This was Maya's first time to walk on the sand and play in the water......
oh and try and eat the sand.

Megan burrying her Jelly Fish.

Madison was in the water in NO TIME.
It is amazing about how much she has taken to the water.

Jacob had so much fun, digging holes and jumping in and around the water.

A classic catch

great action shot!

SANTA HAS BEEN !!!!

Madison, Megan and Maya were very spoilt by Santa this year!The girls couldn't wait to get out on their new bikes.
Madison was like a duck to water - after a minuite or two.
Megan is still a little unsure, but loves to ride!

Maya ABSOLUTELY LOVES her little

Upsy Daisy Chair
that she recieved from Granny. Only Maya is allowed to sit in it!!

OK so every year at the "Adams" household,

it is sheer MADNESS!!

Everyone hands out their Kris Kringle presents,

then presents from Grandpa Jack & Nanny 'Cloud,

Jeanie and Nanny and Poppy.

This year it was a little more organised - but still

Chaos....fun Chaos!

Christmas Eve

There is a house near Sarah and Jason that has THE BEST lights and interactive display in this area. They had the year off last year - so we were very excited to go again this year, only to find out this will be their last Christmas as they have sold their house and they are moving!

It is so much fun - for everyone! They even have snow machine -to give the kids a little snow!

They even had Santa this year - Madison was SO excited because Santa told her she had been a good girl!!

Our baby is 1

I can't believe how quickly the last year has gone by....

Our little girl has grown so much.

She is such a blessing to this family.

She is ALWAYS smiling and is such a happy baby.

Unfortunately it hasn't been the best year for our little family,

but we know we were sent this little blessing for a reason, she is

so beautiful and wonderful, she can make all your problems seem like
nothing with a smile, giggle and a cuddle.

Maya loved being sung Happy Birthday to.
She grooved as everyone sung to her.

She was so impressed with her cake - it was so cute to see.

One of her presents was a little seahorse that playes lullaby's.

Maya thought it was so great that she would groove to this too.
You can see the excitement on her face.

THANK YOU Maya for all the love and happiness you bring to our family.

You certainly are the best blessing ever!!

A very special Christmas Present

We had a lovely surprise for Jason and Sarah.

Jason's parents came out from the USA to spend Christmas with them.

It was the hardest secret to keep - but the BEST secret ever!!

Santa, Santa......

OK this is the 1st year - out of 5 - that I have not had to sit in the picture!

Pretty good - and they are all smiling - even better!!

Graduating Pre-School

I still can't believe that my baby is 5 and will be going to school next year.

Tonight we got to go and see them in their Pre-School Concert.

The wedding cake I made!

The "Old Girl" is .....

On the 30th November

Mum - well she will hate me telling you - was 60!

We had a GREAT night with family and friends at

Savour Chocolate and Patisserie School.

It was great as most (I would say 95%) of the people

there has known Mum for about 20 years!!

I think most were expecting the theme to - well - be green.

I wanted to do something different,

so the theme colours were YELLOW and RED (roses)

This is the poem I made for Mum and to let

everyone know what the colours represented.

These beautiful Yellow Roses

With their tips of Red,

Are especially for you......

So let it be said.

The Yellow is for

New Beginnings

And good luck along the way,

The Red is for

Strength and Love

From us and your Saviour Above.

This is the Beautiful cake Kirsten made for Mum.

Freda, Doreen, Mum, Kim and Me

The whole dang lot of us!

Ok so when we say we are part of a

BIG FAMILY.....

This is what we mean.
