Fast Forward to Present Day

I am terribly behind on all of our family blog posts so this is a big one with all of the most important things from last Christmas to now. Lizzie's birthday will have her own post.

This is how we spend Christmas Day. On the floor, putting together our brand new Lego sets. We love it!

Wiggle Bay at White Water World. 

Amita, Nan and I went to see The Last Jedi together. Amita loved it though was a bit confused in the part where Kylo is shirtless. 

Poses with the Lego World displays at Dreamworld. The Storm Trooper looks a bit miffed that Amita is taking his gun.

Hulk Smash!

Rawwwwr...

Lizzie and I went on a Mummy Daughter date and her choice was to go to the frozen yogurt place. Good choice Lizzie!

Hanging out in Nan and Pa's pool with the cousins.

I love Lizzie's style of swimming with floaties!

Hanging out together at Dreamworld while the big kids go on other rides. 

This is the first day of school for both Amita and Lizzie in 2018. Amita started grade 2 and Lizzie is at Kindy. 

Both girls are doing dance this year. Lizzie is in the Twinkle Toes class and Amita does Jazz/Hip Hop and Ballet/Contemporary. 

In the Easter Holidays Amita got her ears pierced. She did really well and only cried for 2 minutes. As a reward for being brave she got to have some Frozen Yogurt with lots of gummi bears in it.

Here's Amita's first ride on a roller coaster at Dreamworld! Her cousins are behind her.

Family movie trip to see Marvel Infinity War.

When it rains we always take advantage of the big puddle in front of the house.

When it doesn't rain enough we make it rain in the shower instead.

Making some flower crowns after church one day. I used to make these every week when I was a kid.

Dinosaur themed mini putt putt, what could go wrong? Only Lizzie being terrified of the electronic caveman on the 2nd hole. It took a lot of convincing to get her past him.

Once we were past the caveman she was happy to give it a go.

Amita's first lost tooth. It was put in a cup for safe keeping and Steve accidentally threw it out when he did the dishes, but the tooth fairy was kind and still left some money.

Our faces just before playing Monopoly... they weren't quite so cheery at the end.

Amita's silver medal from a WAG 2 gymnastics competition. 

Lizzie got to drive the vintage cars at Dreamworld and now thinks that she's the best driver in the world and won't need any lessons when it's time to drive a real car.
