Holidays.Are.Fun.

Australia Day on the Gold Coast

Girls getting toenails painted

Dreamworld theme park fun (fun for kids, grandparents mostly looked after the baby!)

Waiting at the airport, kids perused the books in the bookstore and sat in high chairs! 
Shh, don't tell the bookstore! :)

Opening Christmas presents from cousins and grandparents. 
The anticipation is oozing from Laura!

Yay for orange Lego!

Littlest is very proud of having something very grown up that no one else has!

How can we make the time slow down?

Small things

Sometimes it's the small things that make our two countries different. 
Like the average car size. 
Or the size of the drinks here. 
It's pretty hard for them to accept that they paid the same amount 
for half the quantity as in America and no free refills here!
Welcome to Australia Mom and Dad! 

Lunch at the beach to welcome them here...

To the 3 weeks ahead, please go oh-so-slowly!!
