Lizette turns 1

Our two little girls turned one during January. Rory had a beautiful morning tea out at Rachel and Wade Neumann's. Rachel did an amazing job of providing a wonderful spread. Relle has some photos of that little party on her blog site. A few days later we ventured up to Echuca for Zettie's party. There was a morning tea at the adventure park on the Sat with some little friends and to have the  birthday cake.

Birthday Season

Toby starts off the long line of Birthdays after Christmas. We celebrated most of them down at the beach with the cousins, aunts and uncles. Lots of fun with all the family around to play with and plenty of sand, sea, swimming, bike riding, ice-creams and treats from the shop.

 There are always lots of friends around to help him celebrate

A few days later we gate crashed Jacqui's 8th birthday party at the park. It is great to be part of a large family, there are always plenty of friends to help out with the celebrations!

Next day was Matt's 40th Birthday and that called for some serious celebrations

 

 What do you get someone who has everything? A kayak which was a sure hit with Matt and the children.

 Happy 40th Matt

Next on the birthday list was Relle.

 Always lots of candle blowers

Old Pa and Uncle David celebrated their birthdays next and we thought that Fish n Chips in the Park was a good way to go.

 Then back to the beach house for the all important cake.

After that spell of birthdays it was back to the Farm for a late Christmas gathering with Nathan, Julz, Lexie, Mitchell, Zettie and a visit from Honor, Flynn and Greta.

Steve brought over Toby, Beau and Davy's little bike for the kids to have some fun on.

On the same weekend we had lunch with Old Pa at Charla in the new Pergola area. We filled it very well.

 While we were there we decided to celebrate the two little girls up coming 1st birthdays. Rory on the 18th 

Jan and Zettie on the 31st Jan. Thanks Aunty Laura for the two cakes.

For more of our summer fun head over to Relle's blog site. She has lots of photos.

Christmas 2015

Narelle, Alara and Leyla came home to help us celebrate Christmas again. Sami was at home for work commitments. Nathan, Julz, Lexie, Mitch and Zettie had a Smith Christmas. We shall catch up with them in the New Year.  Christmas morning arrived with much excitement and the girls were eager to see what was under the tree for them. 

  Narelle had fun with Wigs and Sunnies for all the children this year and the kids had lots of fun with them.
