Wafi Christmas

Getting excited waiting in the queue.

A rare family photo.

The tree.

Daisy and Zach play their roles as 'nose picking little pest' and 'disgusted big sister' to perfection.

Bastie sizes up an elf.

Wafi put on another great Christmas this year. It's the REAL Santa there and the kids are always gobsmacked.

Rugby 7's 2010

Zach, Leo and Daisy take in the action.

Bastie beams at mummy...

...then shares a moment with Daisy.

New Zealand takes out England with a thumping tackle.

Daisy hangs out with Gav.

The parachutists were SO exciting. They came flying in at high speed through a small gap (whilst avoiding a huge light) for a running landing.

Dancers invade the field.

Followed by camels.

Rah!

Kath, Leo and Eva.

Another rocking Sevens weekend, woo! On the Friday we all went along with Kath, Gav, Leo and Eva. Andy had a boys day on the Saturday and we also managed to fit in an Akon concert in town on the Friday night. It took a few days to recover...

National Day at Repton

All kitted out in national dress.

Daisy and her classmates take over the top table.

There was flag waving...


...balloons...

...bouncy castles (that very small pink dot at the top is Daisy)...

...camel rides...

...stilt walkers (but wait, there's more)...

...and parachutes!

Then after all that action, Daisy reads the boys a nice book to wind down.

Daisy's school put on it's usual great National Day celebrations which the kids really enjoyed. Anything that involves camels is normally a winner in their books.

Random events

Bastie is getting bigger by the day.

Whilst I shower in the mornings, the boys hang out in Zach's room. Zach likes to read Bastie books and give him manly diggers to play with.

Jess school winter fair.

Zach gets his head chopped of in the family self potrait.

Daisy makes sandcastles while Zach strolls off for a dip.

Yet another 'Burj Al Arab out the top of the head' photo.

Ice blocks in the garden with George, Lucy and Phoebe.

Zach's all sorted using the loo now but sometimes has trouble putting his pants back on the right way.

Madge, Bob and Steve come to visit.

Champion broccoli eater, just like his mummy.

Here's some more random going ons from November. Loving the cooler weather!

Farewells

Hanging out with Sanna

Pulling a few faces...

...and a few more...

...!

Dajon's turn. I think this is his Captain America face.

Elleke does cute.

Bastie looks elsewhere.

Tara and Dajon.
In November our lovely friends Tara, Dajon, Sanna and Elleke moved back to Australia. Grim. We enjoyed breakfast at The Address Downtown Burj Khalifa shortly before they left.

Watch out mummy, the incredible hulk is behind you!

Boys bonding.

Awww.

Bastie wonders why Daisy and Zach are SO noisy.

Bastie loves his Daddy.

Lots!

I'm still very behind in my blogging. Time for another photo montage!
