" Happy Birthday Jesus"






























Merry Christmas to you our gifts of family and friends,near and far, old and new!






Let us always know and rejoice in the real reason for the season, the celebration of the arrival of Our Savior into the world






May you enjoy every moment of your loved ones and treasure the gifts you have in each other!






May you each be Blessed, prosperous , Happy and Healthy , and loved as 2012 dawns and beyond






Thank you for the treasures and gifts you are to our family






We have a lovely Christmas Eve with Mom and Grandpa and Meggie at Christmas Eve Mass - always beautiful, but this year, extra hard without our Nan with us. We all had our turns to cry and weep and miss Nan. We know that she is right at the Birthday table of Jesus today , we miss and love you Nan, so very much

Christmas morning was much excitement with Deqlan waking up saying ' HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS' What a gift that was! Father Christmas brought Deqie a lovely green and silver bicycle which we hope he will grow to learn and enjoy riding :)

We had a magnificent day at Mom and Dee, with all the family ! Mom created a feast for royalty, using purple and Faith as the them, in honor of Nan . It was stunning. The food delicious. A treat to watch the kids unwrap and run around laughing and enjoying the festivities of the day.

Our big boy has been very frustrated last week, candida being the culprit - back on diflucan, doubled the dose and he is much , much better !

Hope you all had beautiful celebrations with your loved ones, enjoy the photos and would love to leave you with some words Mom put in our cards, adapted from Dayspring Devotions

To prepare for Christmas is to prepare our hearts. Christmas isnt a product to wrap , but a person to unwrap . Christmas can not be bought , it cannot be created , cannot be made by hand. It can only be found in the lowly manger, in the cradling straw, in the bare necessities and only in the person of Christ , who is PERFECT LOVE. The only way to recieve love isnt to wrap anything up but to unwrap your heart . In His infinite wisdom, God found a way to wrap that perfect love as the perfect Christmas gift for you and me ! He gave us the miracle that is the birth of our Savior Jesus! With this gift , comes a lifetime and eternal guarantee of His Promises.


Beautiful hey?



Thank you Lord for the gift of Jesus, thank You Lord for the gift our family and friends. Thank You Lord for the most amazing parents and grandparent in the world, that shower love and help on us every single day, Thank You Lord that my Grandpa is with us for another Christmas and for the love and prayer and dedication he gives to our family.

bye bye sea see you again next time
























we had a lovely holiday and cant believe we already home again- my how the time flied
unfortunately only had 3 out of ten days sun, so we made the most of those days at the beach and pool
deqlan has become even more confident in water and now runs and jumps into the pool, goes under the water and keeps himself there for a few seconds blowing bubbles - we are so surprised this happened so quickly and now know we have to watch him even closer around water! he dived into nannas jacuzzi yesterday while nanna and i were taking the cover off!
of course deqlan loved the sea and getting bumped off his feet and going under the water :)
logan and deqlan sure are water babies and its not hard to imagine them both as surfing kids!
unfortunately dadda is back to work today :( but we look forward to the long christmas and new years weekends together!
got some nice activities planned for the kids this week and have to fit my christmas shopping in to!
enjoy the photos of our holiday enjoy the week and remember the real reason for the season !!!
god bless and love
