He's getting bigger!

On Sunday we visited Jen and Pete and Reece.

Just before Mum took this photo, Reece was very happy!

 It was harder cuddling Reece because he is getting much bigger.

He fell asleep in our arms.

Cleland Family Expands

We got two cute little guinea pigs for Christmas. The first picture is of my merino piggy called Thea and the second is Jack's normal pig called Jordie. We got a great big hutch for them and they enjoy running around.

PS We discovered that Buster, the guinea pig who lives 2 doors down the road, is actually a girl so we had the get 2 girls, for when they have play dates. (At last the gender balance swings in my favour!)

Frockling in Frankton Bay

Our holiday finished with a lovely few days in 'Hotel Queenstown'. One day we headed to Frankton for a picnic and laze on the beach. Once Grant hit the water the fun really begun...

Fun at Bannockburn camp.

The boys loved their taste at fishing. Very keen to visit Uncle Mark for a fishing weekend!

 Victory! Tim beat the pants off Dad.

 Every holiday needs a classy winery lunch, this year we checked our Northburn, just out of Cromwell. Yummy pinot noir and delicious platters, but they were a bit too posh to serve chips!

Beautiful music serenaded us each evening, especially enhanced by Debbie's tuneful voice.

Feeling the speed on holiday...

One of our favourite activities while on holiday in Bannockburn was zooming around on Andrew's jet ski and  biscuiting behind Bernie's boat.

 Don't worry Nana, Andrew went with us and we were very safe.

Tim is ready to ride!

 He just kept on smiling!

By the end of the ride Grant was 'slip sliding away!'

The Latest Craze...

Dad got Sing Star for Christmas. He was very excited. Last night we had Vicky and the boys, our neighbours, over for a 'Sing Star Battle'. Watch out if you come to stay ... better bring your singing voice.

Christmas Day at our place...

 We started at 6am! Santa was generous with his gifts.

 Grant couldn't wait till the afternoon to open his pressies, so he got to open one at 'Santa Time'.

 Everyone got something festive to wear at the table.

 Yoda didn't want to miss out on the festivities.

 Fiona had a natural motherly touch with Reece.

 Tim's most exciting moment was finding the guinea-pig hutch.
The guinea-pigs arrive when we return from holiday.

Reece is the latest recipient (victim) of Pa's baby voice conversations.
