Deqlan LOVES mud - he played in this puddle for over half and hour the girls also seemed to enjoy gettin dirty- it had rained so hard the night before the party that there were lots of puddles and lots of mud and those of you wondering if this white t shirt came clean, it miraculous did

mmmm, chocolate mud flavour water- it was so hot Deqlan knew how to cool down!

Pure joy lying on the grass staring at the clouds

Loves for Riley- told you Deqlan is a ladies man!

Mud mud everywhere, how wonderful!

We decided to do something a little different this year to celebrate Christmas with our friends and little ones- we have been blessed with lots of new little ones and blessed with lots of stories of hope and health and survival in Our Circle of friends, old friendships that were rekindled, worries forgotten, and new journies to look forward to, that it truly was a day of blessings to be all together to celebrate Christmas.

We met at The Rooihuiskraal terrein and the kids enjoyed the jungle gyms, mud, lots of it, the animals and each other

We had our very own Father Christmas who did a sterling , sterling job, the kids adored him, i really think you could look at going into the full time Pooh bear!

It was lovely to catch up with everyone, to see how big all the kids have grown, to just enjoy the day together thanking God for his gifts of friendship ,our children and all the lessons we have learnt through out 2009.

I would definitely recommend we make this an anual celebration and yes, everyone is invited!

ENjoy the photos as much as i enjoyed taking them and taking in every second of the day!

God Bless lots of love Samm
