G'day!

sleeping beauties

Uncle J with twins Bethan and Kirsten

here we are celebraing my first birthday by having a Aussie fancy dress BBQ! thanks to all of you for coming and for my great pressies! daddy did a fantastic job making ALL the food. his home made hamburgers were especially tasty. mummy did the decorations (with a bit of help from auntie karen and cousin bethany) it was a brilliant day and it didn't rain afterall!

bampa was the genuine article with his authentic aussie clothes!

ckeck out the r.m williams boots . . .

cully koala

daddy was crocodile dundee. i think he looks brilliant! mummy was the opera house (nice hat mum!). and i was a cute koala

this is uncle martin. he hates dressing up. cunningly he found a way to come to my party in his normal clothes. check out his 'costume' . . .

do you get it? sydney harbour (syd - knee on one side and a picture of some boats on the other)

smart eh?

bethany and erin . . . can you find nemo???

lynsey, elaine, bethany and erin came collectively as the great barrier reef!!

uncle jeremy came as some aussie cricket player whose name mummy has forgotten. can anyone guess who it is? let mummy know . . .

well done uncle j. what a good sport (!)

auntie claire, ella and granma came as 'sheila's wheels'! (For all you Aussies reading this . . . sheila's wheels is a uk insurance company for lady drivers. it's tv adverts are very australian!) lookin' good ladies . . .

auntie karen, uncle alick, bethany and ellen came as a kangaroo family!

great effort!! boing . .

and here is the cake . . . beautifully made by my papa! a little reminder of life in Oz!

my first real shoes (actually they are called cruisers) mummy was very pleased with herself for finding a pair of clarks shoes half price in the sale! it was a very special occasion. a very nice lady measured my feet and told me i was a 3 and a half G - whatever that means. anyway, they help me walk while i am holding onto mummy or daddy or grandparents, or anyone else who is willing to walk around with me!
