Thank goodness we slept lots in October -
because November was celebration time here in Newcastle!
There were baptisms, birthdays, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles
and lots and lots of fun
Freya's baptism brought family and friends together, which is always so lovely for Oliver and Freya as aunts, uncles and cousins are an almost abstract concept.
We all had a lovely time together at Blackbutt Reserve with lots of climbing and running and cuddling (and licking!) Koalas.
This is just so Oliver!
Park visits are becoming more and more fun for both Oliver and Freya. Oliver is more confident of climbing and jumping and Freya, well she seems to have forgotten to be scared of anything!
Granny and Grandpapa came to stay, they experienced the excitement of Bin Truck Monday (Grandpapa slept through the noise, the jumping, the driving of trucks over him!)
Oliver has loved Spot books since forever and when travelling or sick will happily watch a few of the matching videos and read the book alongside.....
he was ever so excited that Grandpapa was coming as obviously he would take him to the park!
The viewing of the film before the park visit and the actual park visit!
One happy boy and one happy Grandpapa!
Freya thought having granny and grandpapa in the house was fabulous, two extra people to exclaim over every little thing she did -
and of course cuddles galore!
