We all gathered at Mum and Dad's for Christmas lunch (and presents!) This first picture shows some of us playing "Pass the shell", David's very favourite party game. He is guessing whose hand holds the shell...

And here is David kissing his new felt sheep. Thank you Grandma!

Christmas morning (PG rating for this post.)

David was very pleased with his stocking, especially when he realised he could open all the presents himself!
As he was opening them he asked me "Are these from Santa?"
I responded enthusiastically, "Yes!"
David looked at me and asked "Are you Santa?"

David's 3rd birthday

David is 3!!

We had a lovely (little) party for him on the morning of his birthday.

Here he is showing off one of his many new engines.

(How many other Thomas-themed presents can you see?!)

And here his new digger is helping him open a card.

(The digger didn't leave his side for a week, at least!)

Seren joined us on speaker phone (from Perth).

"I'm 3!"

Sharing the snacks with Grandma and Grandpa.

"The best picnic spot in Melbourne"

We are enjoying having Mum & Dad/Grandma and Grandpa back. This picnic was during their overlap with Tony, before he returned to England. We had a lovely picnic on the banks of the Yarra.

Yoga

David sometimes likes to join Seren when she does yoga in the morning. This time, though, it was Pretty and Scoop who wanted to join her. David was very impressed with Scoops ability to bend and make shapes!

Farewell Helen

We had such a lovely time with Tony and Helen here. We're still enjoying Tony's company...these pictures are from our farewell morning tea the day Helen left Australia.

It's a while ago now but David still says "Where's Helen?" every time we see Tony!
