HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM REUBEN AND BABY!!! New addition to our family! Mummy loves baby and this is a special baby! Its a black one, before Reuben we wanted to adopt a mixed race baby but things got very complicated paperwork wise and soon I found out I was pregnant! We still hope and pray that we can adopt and until then Reuben can practice being an older brother to the BABY!

I like how he wants to feed baby! So cute! AM I GETTING BROODY? NO

For those of you who were reading this blog this will be good news R is eating again! HALELUIAH!

Best when he feeds himself even though afterwards it means needing bath cause the yoghurt goes on the head, in the mouth, in the eyes! CRAZY but its Christmas so R was allowed to be a but adventurous!

King Jonathan (daddy), Queen Maria (mummy) and prince REUBEN MICHAEL! A Bit drunk! Yes, we had wine and we had pasta! how festive you might think but it was more important we spend quality time together than cooking away in the kitchen!

Reuben finised all his pasta + yoghurt and he had juice too!

He liked pulling crackers! BUt not the silly crowns

My bestest ever Christmas gift REBEKA!!! YEPEEEEE

Ah, Reuben getting a bit jelous!

THe Christingle Service today was fab! Reuben wasn;t really supposed to have a part in it but...see below! Poor Jesus was over shaddowed!

Happy threee....at the Christingle Service!

GUESS WHO WANTED TO BE PART OF THE CHRISTMAS NATIVITY? Jesus was oveshaddowed but I am sure he will forgive Reuben!

And sitting for 1 second before doing the rounds around the display...like a crazy dog in action! Still he has not slept by then and its 4pm. So....phewwwww at least he was there body, mind and spirit! Unlike us!....:))

Eating the sweets off the Christingle, such a nice story but forget the sweets we want them...as an analogy....makes me smile...who wouldn't want all things at once? Perhaps we do often behave like kids and we are taking it all...living in the here and now....perhaps it is a good way of looking at things...maybe we would be happier at least for the here and now!?!

Reuben's excitment when he gets a car, a Thomas train or something he is passionate about also teaches me to think about expression of excitment....its so important. Another thing I am happy this Christmas for that I can teach my child and he is able to express his feelings! I just hope he will be always as confident, as happy and as much of a personality as he is now!!

AND NOW DADDY@S CHRISTMAS PRESENT! YES! Bright new and nice! He certainly knows whats best doesn;t he? I get the best deal though I do like my 4X4 and well.....how could I get used to small when I had been enjoying BIG?!:))

VOILLA- c'est la nouve vie (this is for Natalie's sake...she likes a bit of FRENCH don;t you gal?)

MASTER REUBEN IN ACTION! He thinks this is his Christmas car! He likes it cause its smal! Was in it in no time at all...even had a short nap in it while we picked up my beauty the old car!
