Christmas in Australia!

What a wonderful 1st Christmas we had. Mum and Dad took us to Australia for 3 weeks to visit our family and friends! The flight there was LONG but we did pretty good. Let's not talk about the flight home....Mum and Dad have referred to it a few times as being a 'nightmare'... it wasn't fun..

Lots of exciting things happened in Australia; Harrison started to crawl, we both started pulling ourselves up to stand, Stella said 'Mum' a few times, we went to the beach and enjoyed lots of yummy Australian mangos! We were incredibly spoilt on Christmas day with presents! Here are some highlights!!

We were christened the day after we arrived. Here we are with our amazing godparents - Adam & Lexi!

Our Great Grand Mima came too!

Here is Stella & Nanna JJ at Ripples Milson's Point for brunch...

We spent a lot of time at Balmoral Beach.. Harrison loved wearing his hat..

We had a lovely picnic with our Koch cousins one day...

Our Godmother Lexi came over one day for a play date...

Christmas morning was so much fun! We were spoilt!!

Every 10-month old needs a leather jacket and fur vest!!!

Aunty Shawn & Uncle Nick came to Australia too!

We had lots of fun with our second cousins Oli & Soph...

Another great Balmoral picnic...this time with Mum's friends!

We loved the grilled ocean trout from the local fish & chips store..

We would often visit the park near Nanna JJ & Pop's...

We couldn't go to Australia and not hit the beach!

We had a great catch up with our new friends Hunter & Evie..

And Milly...

And ANOTHER Balmoral play date... this time with Sophie, Oli and the Thurecht girls! So much fun!

We had a lovely lunch at Bondi the day before we left with Mum & Dad..

We also got to see the T girls again!

We loved our time in Australia and can't wait to go back...
