Jakob hot on the trail of Santa

When i woke up on x-mas morning, i found evidence of Santa and his naughty reindeer, the reindeer had eaten the carrot and done poo's on the floor... i tracked him down and found that they escaped out the door before i awoke.

Then after i looked more i found santa had eaten the pie and drunk the beer.... he must get a full tummy with all those beers and pies...

After our breakfast we cane back for lunch at grand-ma and pa-pa's and everyone was around. Me and my cousins had great fun unwrapping more pressies.

Dylans first Aussie X-Mas

On the Friday before x-mas we went for a drive to the airport and got on the Jet, then we flew all the way to Melbourne to see grand-ma and Pa-pa. Jakob and me had fun on the plane. When we got to Melbourne daddie got grumpy as the useless baggage people had lost Jakob's bag and i think dad let them know.
Here's some photo's of me and my cousins at there place formy first x-mas breakfast.

(early) christmas dinner

Tonight cousin Bradley came for dinner at Grandma and Grandad's house. We had dinner at the big table with the grownups. And after dinner I read a story to Bradley from my new Thomas book.

We all had a bath together. It was great fun in the bath, enough room for us all.

off to Hawera....

I went to visit my Grandad and Grandma in Hawera this weekend for an early christmas. Jakob and I had lots of fun visiting. And as a special treat we got to open our christmas presents early. Thats me showing off my new Thomas shirt. Jakob can't claim it as it is too small for him, but his thomas bridge looks interesting.........

We went swimming in the morning. I showed off my skills on the kickboard (you can see Jakob and Grandad in the background).

Tonight our cousin Bradley is coming for dinner at Grandma and Grandad's house. So hopefully Mummy and Daddy will get some photos of the three of us together to blog.

Love Dylan

....and more christmas parties

Well it was a big weekend for christmas parties. On Sunday we went to Raumati Gardens (on the Kapiti Coast) for Daddy's work christmas party. It was a cool park with heaps to do, including a train! Dylan and I went for a ride on the train, but I went on the most .... 7 times around the track and only the temptation of lunch could get me off.

After all the excitment of the train we also had Father Christmas and Barney arrive. I got a floor puzzle and despite my requests Mummy made me wait til I got home to open it. Dylan had his first experience of opeing a present and he really did seem to enjoy the wrapping paper.

Later that afternoon I had a relax in my chair. Dylan was enjoying being outside too.

We both had a snooze in the car on the way home. What a weekend.

christmas parties

On the weekend I went to Chipmunks for my childcare christmas party. There were lots of great things to play on but I especially enjoyed the slides. I even showed Mummy and Daddy how brave I was by climbing up to the big slide all by myself. (the ladder was about 5m up).
The picture was one Daddy took of me coming down the tunnel, I think Mummy was a bit scared?

Then after the party we got to go to Deon and Nicky's for dinner. It was lots of fun because Ethan let me play with all his toys. I even got to go on the trampoline and then we did some diggin in the sand pit. What a busy weekend, and there was more the next day.......

The Plops

Hi from Jakob.
Last Friday Mummy, Dylan and I went to see The Plops in Wellington. (They are a Lower Hutt children's group). It was a christmas concert. We went in on the train and went to see Santa at Kirks (Wellington department store). Then it was off to Capital E the venue for the concert. When we were there I met up with some of my friends from Playcentre.

It was pouring with rain that day and I got soaked. But it was all fun. Ashlee and I tried to aim for all the puddles on the way back to the station.

Check out my dance moves baby!

feeling much better

Hello from Dylan.
I am feeling much better this week. Mummy and Daddy are glad to see me smiling again. So now I'm all set for my big trip to Australia.

jakob's week

Hi
I have been really busy this week. I got to go to Liam's house to play on Tuesday and then on wednesday he came to my house. Then on Friday Alexander came for morning tea (thats us enjoying our muffins). On Saturday I had a gym exhibition (Uncle Leicester took some photos so you can see those next week) and then that night I had a pool party. I got to see Father Christmas at the pool, he came on a motor bike and had chocolates (my favourite).
Aunty Nicola and Uncle Leicester looked after Dylan because he had chicken spots and couldn't come to the pool.

Love Jakob.

dylan and slinki

Jakob let me have a little cuddle with slinki malinki. I didn't have him for long as Jakob wanted to put him on the christmas tree (thats what slinki does in the story).
Unfortunately my week hasn't been too good since. I managed to catch chicken spots and one of my teeth is coming through. Its been a long weekend and I'll be glad when the itching stops.....
