Louis' Birthday Party

Louis had a great day on his birthday. Below are several pictures from the day. We had a party at home for him with a number of his friends from day-care and across the street as well as family members


Here Louis is opening one of the many presents he got.


Louis and Steve getting stuck into some of the toys already :-)


Louis loves SpiderMan, so Beck made him this SpiderMan cake. We can see here that Cassie is about to "help" him out with the task of blowing out the candles.....


This is Louis with all of his gifts that he got on the day, I can tell you he is not short on toys....and he and his friends can always find something "new" to play with in his room.

What the kids did on the Christmas holidays

Well, we spent a good amount of time down the beach over the Christmas break. We would go down in the morning, come home for lunch when it was too hot to be out in the sun. Then head back down for the afternoon.

Beck is on the right holding Louis. While Cassie is coming out of the pool. This is down at towradgi beach and was in the morning. High tide can make the pool pretty full. Just the other week it was pretty rough, some big waves coming over the big pool and into the small one, some lady was washed from the big pool into the little one :-)


The next few snaps are from a trip the kids went on to Taronga zoo. This was part of the Christmas present Julie and Steve gave the kids. Quite nice, it was a card with a little note saying that they could claim a trip to the Zoo for 2 kids going by train and then ferry.

This is the kids at the train station ready for their day at the zoo with Julie and Steve


One of the lovely views they had on the ferry on the way to the zoo. Nothing like the Sydney Opera House on a clear sunny day....
