lecys last day at Milperra school

Our toothless Alicia has only been back at school for a week and half and started grade 1. The travel to her school is taking about half an hour and is a little bit of a struggle getting 3 kids out the door to get her there on time.  Anyways i made a quick decision  yesterday, well not quick it took all day for me to decide but i made the calls and we picked up her new uniform to change her school to the one closest to  home and where her friends from church go to as well.

I was worried about how lecy would take it....but she was great and is looking forward to going to a new school and making new friends and mostly catching the bus.  I hope it is a good thing for her and will end our morning chaos and contentions.  Her teacher from last year and the office ladies all said she will be missed and is a lovely girl....which was nice to hear and her little friends were all hugging her ..making this weak mum get a little  teary too. I will post her first day  tomorrow her new uniform is green ,I'm nervous for her but im sure she will be o.k.

Tylers first day of preschool

Tyler was so excited for his first day today.  He was in the bathroom cleaning his teeth singing his own song"PRE-SCHOOL BOY, PRE-SCHOOL BOY". 

                                              

He came home with a painting and i asked him what it was a picture of and he said"The Whole World" . On the way home he showed us what a day at pre-school does to a 3 yr old. 

Hans Christmas present "Sydney international tennis"

Hans has always wanted to go to the Australian Open since he moved here....this is the next best thing.  We watched Marty Fish from U.S.A and Peter  Lucek from A.U.S  It was a fun date night together.  Even if U.S.A won :)
The pictures are not that clear because i accidently formatted my memory card and after taking it to get recoverd....this is what i got back.
This one is funny...we didnt realise alicia was there too..we were actually enjoying a kid free night.

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

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
