New years eve/New years day

New Years Eve

New Years Eve sparkles with the family, it was a pretty

quiet night but nice to be with Monique and Waynes

family and grammy and papa.

Wanda Beach New Years Day




Eliza is still not allowed to go swimming since her operation...

it was hard keeping her away from the water she is getting so fast now.

this is what eliza would like with freckles...she loved playing in the sand.

getting surfing lessons from uncle Wayne , tyler was so proud and happy

after his turn.

The real surfer Christian , kids dancing and jumping the waves

and its all fun till Alicia gets dunked pretty bad and Lily pulls a funny face.

Tyler thought he would try riding the wave on his towel,

He didnt get far but he had fun...then he tried to dry himself with it.

He is such a funny kid.

Eliza our happy little free spirit and Tyler being such a good brother.

Kids sitting on Uncles waynes board having a snack at 8.30 at night

and the beach was still so nice.

Getting Ready For Christmas

The Anderson's are excited for Christmas

Santa's little helper...

This is how cute Lorelei decorates the kids rom to get in the Chistmas spirit.

Santa's little helpers room. She loves to play with the Nativity and we often see baby Jesus or Mary on top of the stable instead of the Angel.

This of course is our Entertainment Stand, again Lorelei has done a great job bringing Christmas into the home. Nema even made it on the stand, top right corner with Tyler...

Last but not least the Christmas Tree and Tyler with his favourite movie Elf, he can quote the lines and would watch it 10 times a day if he could

Our kindergarten graduate

 Top picture isLecys first day of Kindergarten  and then now Lecy today graduating she has grown taller, lost a tooth and has a wobbly top tooth and now wears glasses but is still as cute as can be.

Alicias big day.

Alicia did such a great job today with her Primary presentation and dance recital all in one day.  She said her scripture off by heart and looked so beautiful.  Then rushed off to her dance recital it really was rushed one hour to get ready..but lecy did great and we made it on time and she looked great and had fun dancing. 

Halloween Party

Halloween 2009 - Great friends, great food, really cute kids , great night. Eliza wouldnt keep her wig on ...but she did keep her top down :)

Alicia turns 6

Alicia had a great birthday , she was so excited about her party she had her outfit all ready the day before and chose it hersef. All day I heard " How long til its time for my party". It finally came and she had so much fun with all her friends from school. Alicia is growing up to be a sweet , creative girl and caring friend to others.

Her party was the day before her actual birthday, then on her birthday she played and played with all her presents , She dressed up like a moxie girl doll and played with her moxie doll and guitar with Tyler like little rockstars singing in there microphones. For Lecys birthday dinner she asked for" Breakfast for dinner" that daddy made special with a heart pancake just for the birthday girl. Lecy made smoothies for everyone with her new Fruit factory.

Even after her actual birthday there was more when a fedex box came from nema and tepa in the mail waiting for her after her first day back at school.....she just loved everything in her suprise birthday package especially her very own HSM lock up diary.

Lecy we love you and are glad you had a great birthday.

Sydney Weather Today

The top picture I found online. You can find better pictures at www.ninemsn.com.au the other pictures are of our cars out the front yard and of our back yard. When we woke up at 6:30 it was really Orange like the top pictures and around 7:30 when we took the pictures the Orange had died down.

I just thought it would be fun to show you a little crazy Australian weather. For those of you that know Australian geography, there was also two earthquakes in Melbourne last night and storms in both Sydney and Brisbane.
