Christmas 2007

Christmas Day for us this year was spent in Sydney with the Edmistons. Natalie, Brett and the boys were down from Newcastle. Nicole was back from Perth and Paul and Jodie were staying in Sydney this year. Mark was in Sydney a few days before Christmas so we had dinner with him before he went back to Townsville.
Elise loves watching and being with her cousins. Her favourite thing is playing with Nana's door stop (who needs presents!) It was a cold day for us this year -only 19 degrees.

Just after Christmas all the Bannons arrived in Sydney for a post chrissy celebration. We had a fish and chips picnic in the park in Cabarita on Sat. On Sun we went into the city for lunch which included a stop at the Lindt chocolate cafe at Cockle Bay (YUM!) It has been a while since we were all in the one place together and we had a lovely time. Toby is chatting away now and has grown so tall and cute and gave us all lots of cuddles.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. Hope 2008 is full of moments of amazement and wonder for all....

Our Mothers Group had a 1st B'day party for all our babies on the weekend. Our babies were born over Oct, Nov & Dec 2006. This was the first time the dads had met up together as well. It was great fun afternoon - lots of play on the swings, slide, cubbyhouse and mini truck!

Elise started walking this week - very cute. She is wobbling around and landing on her bottom a lot. All the Bannon family are visiting us in Sydney just after Christmas so they will be excited to have Elise toddle up to them!
