Gingerbread men with Mackenzie

While we were out shopping we bumped into Mackenzie who managed to convince her Mum that Bella should come over for a play. Bella and Mackenzie decorated yummy gingerbread men. These are Bella's creations!

Zach's PJ day at Kindy

During the school holidays they have PJ and Movie day at kindy which is one of Zach's favourite themed days. He went dressed as a policeman and Teddy got to go to kindy with him which he absolutely loved. After dropping Zach off, I took the girls shopping with Lucia in her onesie!

Zach's new bike!

Zach has upgraded from a 12 inch to a 16 inch bike so he can keep up for family bike rides. He's named his new bike Policey as it's blue. He's supposed to be giving his old red bike to Lucia for Christmas but he's not very keen on letting it go!

Now the only problem is that Bella wants a 24 inch bike but that will make her too fast so we're resisting until she turns 8!

Tinkerbell Lucia

Here is Lucia in her cute Tink top and matching skirt that she got from Ella and Aubrey's hand me downs. She seems to like her Tink top a lot and has even named one of her duplo people Tinkbell. Lucia is about 2.5 years in these photos and oh so cute! She is busy showing off her athletic ability by doing a handstand on the wall.

Bella's new hairstyle

Bella has been testing out wearing her hair like Lucia in half up half down piggy tails. The symmetry of it seemed to go well with her 2 front teeth missing.

Seeing Amy in the school holidays

We enjoyed a play and scooter at the lake playground with Amy, her sisters and Mum in the school holidays. Bella and Amy are always so excited to see each other.

Enjoying the Lake Playground!

We met Adrienne with Blake and Claudia at the lake. Lucia did the big slide as well but she must have been so fast I didn't manage to get a good picture.

Visiting Te Awamutu

On Sunday afternoon we headed out to Te Awamutu. Bella and Vinnie were very excited that they got to have a play together. They were busy booking everyone into their hotel, getting them to fill out breakfast menus and most importantly giving out bills.

We got to see Haley and Lance's new house and lamb. We stopped at Burger Fuel on the way home for dinner. Yum!

Zach's Soccer

Here is Zach at his Sunday soccer practice. He got a little soccer ball badge for attending 10 times.

Aubrey's Birthday

Bella went to Aubrey's 8th Birthday in the weekend. Apparently, she was terrified when Daddy left her but by the time I arrived to pick her up she'd settled in well climbing up all the walls even ones she'd not conquered before. 

My beautiful girl!

Lucia looks pretty cute these days with her little piggy tales. Her hair has actually turned out to be nearly as curly as Bella's and it just keeps getting curlier. Here we are on the way to one of our coffee dates!
