O Christmas Tree

My AJ stuck our Christmas tree together tonight. He is so clever that he did it all by himself!


Once he finished building the tree, it was time for me to decorate it.


It looks really pretty, with lots of flashing lights and a pretty star on top. All it needs now is lots and lots of presents underneath it, to share with everyone.

Love Princess George.

Wacky Wizard?

Have you ever met a wacky wizard? I have, he was at Tia and Tio's Christmas party! He sung funny songs and made animals from balloons. He was so magical that he even turned popcorn into lollies. He was so cool! We played lots of different games and I even helped him with some magic tricks.

Not long after the wizard went back to his mushroom castle in Magic Land, we had another special visitor. The next visitor was even cooler than the wizard - it was Santa. All the kids at Tia and Tio's are really good, so he gave us all a present. Santa gave me a new box of Legos with letters on it that will be heaps of fun to play with.

We are so lucky to be such good kids that Santa remembers us.

Almost Summer

Well Summer is almost here, and finally it feels like beach weather.

Sarah McNamara hasn't been to the beach since she got to Melbourne, so today we went exploring at Williamstown beach. Macsie and Sarah came along too for a yummy picnic.

We had so much fun digging and building sandcastles, looking for water snails, chasing seagulls and splashing in the water.

Summer is fun, I hope we can go to the beach again really soon.

Transition

Do you know what transition means? I do!

tran·si·tion Passage from one form, state, style, or place to another.

I am learning all about transition because I am in transition, I am going to finish kinder soon and go to school next year.

I went to another transition day at Kensington Primary School today. This time mum and dad took me there. They talked to other mums and dads, as well as some teachers and even the principal. I was really excited that mum and dad were there, they got to meet my 'buddy' Alex.

Alex and I had so much fun learning together. After I went to a music class and did some more artwork, I went to order my school uniform. My uniform should arrive next week, so I will post some photos of how cool I look in my new uniform.

Practice Makes Perfect

Adults keep telling me that 'practice makes perfect', well with all the dancing I have done lately - I will be the best dancer in the world!


Today we had a full rehearsal at the studio, so I had to practice my jazz and tap ready for the end of year production. Tomorrow I will go to my normal jazz class, then on Friday I will go to the other kids jazz class so they can practice with me. Then that afternoon I will go back to the studio for my tap dancing class.

Finally on Sunday we will go back to the studio for a photo shoot with everyone in costume. Then it will be less than a week until the big production. I can't wait.

Should I practice some more now?
Love the dancing AJ Pickle

Thanksgiving

We had a Thanksgiving party at our house tonight. I really don't know what a Thanksgiving is, but I know it was fun. Sarah told us that it was a special American holiday where people celebrate with family and friends and think about all the things that make them happy.

Well I think Thanksgiving is a great holiday. I can think of lots of things today that made me happy, that I can say 'thank you' about;
- meeting Sarah and learning all about Thanksgiving
- having lots of people come to our Thanksgiving party
- eating strange foods (Although the grown-ups loved it, pumpkin isn't a dessert!)
- having a big bath with lots of friends
- eating ice cream
- staying up late!

Thanksgiving sure is a great day. Can we have another Thanksgiving party tomorrow?
Love AJ Pickle

PS - did you know that American people think that pumpkin comes in a can? Sarah had to cook her own pumpkin before she could make the pumpkin pie!

Two Weddings and a Christening!

We have been soooooo busy lately.

Last weekend we went to Yarrawonga so mum and dad could go to Kerry's wedding.

Wedding 1 - Kerry and Brian

This weekend Aunty Sharni looked after us so mum and dad could go to Kirsty's wedding.

Wedding 2 - Kirsty and Brian

Why are weddings just for grown-ups? They look like so much fun, hopefully we can go to a wedding one day!

Finally yesterday there was something that we could all go to, even us kids; we went all the way to Sunbury to see cousin Henry get christened.

and a Christening

Just a normal weekend for us it seems, always busy. Places to go and people to see.
Love AJ and Milla
