Christmas Photos













The first three photos were taken Christmas morning - Lauren opening her presents from Santa which he left in her stocking! The top one shows a Dora The Explorer DVD, which seems to be the in thing at the moment, but will no doubt change again soon! The bottom two photos show Lauren at the end of the day when we popped into Kaye & Martin's house for a few drinks (& ice cream!)- her & James were shattered at the end, and we just popped them in front of the tv!
We had a great day with the girls - they opened their Santa gifts in the morning and then we went over to Dave's sister's house for brunch - more presents for the girls of course! Then back here to open the remainder of their gifts and then we all had a doze before heading up to Kaye and Martin's.
We decided to have our crayfish on Christmas Eve, and despite Lauren not liking it when we bought it, she soon changed her mind once Dave gave her a small bit to taste, and I think she ended up eating about half of it! Poor papa!

Mixed Bunch & xmas photos












The top two photos were taken on Christmas morning - whilst opening presents (more about xmas day in next blog!).
The next photo was taken of the two girls, just looking cute after having had a shower. The next photo is Lauren doing some naked gardening and the bottom photo is Lauren wearing Dave's hat again!



Mixed bunch of photos












Some photos taken of Lauren over the past few months. Occasionally I'm allowed to put her hair in plaits - she doesn't really like anyone brushing her hair, and only Dave is allowed to wash it, so this really is a treat! She looks so grown up when she has her hair up, and hopefully I'll be allowed to do this more often. The next photo is her wearing a top sent over by my parents - she has several similar style tops which she wears with leggings - although she's discovered how easy they are to take off, and most afternoons she's running around the house naked! Because it's hot, I'm not particularly fussed, but hopefully it's just a phase she's going through!
The next photo was taken at Kelly Tarlton's which Lauren loved. She really loved watching all the fish, and thought the penguins were excellent. The next photo is Lauren with her beloved papa - she's wearing his hat and loves taking it off whilst yelling 'yeeha!' The bottom photo shows Lauren with two of her (many) bags - she often takes off round the house carrying many of them.



Lauren's birthday













Here are a few photos from Lauren's 3rd birthday party. Pretty self explanatory - Dave cutting cake, Lauren blowing out candles, the cake (Handbag with LC in silver balls on it) and the bottom photo was taken at the playgroup morning tea for her birthday, where she is sitting next to her friend Harry.
