Christmas Fever

Christmas is only 4 sleeps away! The kids are getting really excited about Christmas, though Levi is just taking his cue from Ariana as he doesn't really understand.

In particular Ariana is nuts about Christmas lights. So much so that we have driven to the nearby recommended lights for a squiz. Daniel is not as enthusiastic about lights as the rest of us, but he still comes along!

Here are some photos of the kids and some lights around Brisbane:

133 Dorrington Drv, Ashgrove (2nd Place Northside - 4KQ Christmas Lights).

Ariana is the little girl in the arch.

AND THEN HE TURNED 1

2 kids and time really flys, Levi celebrated his first birthday (day) at home with the small family that is still in Brisbane at the moment ... Even with that there were still many gifts to open!

Then it was into some cake...

But to follow in the tradition that was established with his older sister, there was a big dress up party shortly after the official day!! JUNGLE THEMED...

There was the Commando himself!

The Tiger! RRRAAAGGGHH!

The Leopard and Safari Hunter (with his Commando Assistant)!

And a few other interesting characters:

Another Tiger

A Tree & a Lion

Part of the Jungle itself!

A Christmas Beatle & Someone from the Urban Jungle

A Tree Hugging Hippee

Indiana Jones put in an appearance (Whip and all)

And an Irresponsible Caveman...

Who kept terrorising the other guests.

The grandparents had an enjoyable time hanging out with the grand kids.

With the big event of the day being the amazing Car Cake!! (Yummy)

READY SET GO!

As we head towards Levi's first Birthday he finally gets the courage to let go of the couch!! Aren't we proud parents?
