Summer Holidays always officially begins with Toby's Birthday. This year I was given a specific brief in regards to the cake - 

"its ok Mum, now that I am 10 I don't need to have a cake out of the book, just a vanilla one with cream and chocolate sticks will be good thanks" 

And thats what he got!

Up early for presents

then cake with cousins later in the day

We were blessed with some perfect beach days, lots of sunshine, sand castles and digging!!

Rosie had a daily quota of walks that needed to be met....

 there was always many helpers for that job!

Aunty Relle's Birthday came along and once again I was given a cake brief - meringues, cream & chocolate -no strawberries!

Toby was a part of a small group who participated in a maths program called Quick Smart. On completion of the program the group each received a certificate in recognition of this. 

Receiving his certificate at the last assembly of 2018

As Toby's birthday is at the very end of the year, he wanted to have an early celebration with his school friends before everyone went on holidays. A pool party was on the agenda and fun was had by all

We had the opportunity to dress up and go to the Bordertown Races, we had a great time with a great bunch

Serviceton Community Carols was on and off we went to join in the singing of all the usual Christmas tunes

The boys were most impressed with their face/ body paint art

 Christmas of 2018 was a great time of getting together with all the family, sharing the joys of the season and creating memories - of which I have no evidence of......
