Rocky Horror in the Botanic Gardens - January 2011

What a crazy bunch of girls to sit in the Botanic Gardens on a night with forecast thunder and lighting to sit and watch the movie 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

but that is exactly what we we did, Amanda, Lana, Amy and myself sat huddled together, eating veggies and dip, with a blanket over our heads while we sat and watch one of my all time favourite movies.

Despite the weather, we had a great time, and I definately hope we can me some type of regular occurrence of the event.

Monarto Zoo - January 2011

In early January we took a little mini break with the boys by staying at the Hahndorf Resort, and by doing this we were easily able to spend a day out at Monarto Zoo, which is a zoo set up to help animals roam in as close as possible to their natural habitat.

We had a great day and surprisingly I did not take too many pictures, but this was a day out that was well worth the trip, and we all had a great day where we bonded as a family and thoroughly enjoyed each others company.

Mitchell's 2nd Birthday - January 2011

Well we celebrated Mr Mitchell's birthday with a small family and friends gathering, being so close after Christmas it is always going to be hard to organise any type of big gathering, but the Nana's came, and the Mashfords came so he had a great time being doted on and chased after by everyone..

He got up in the morning and got to open some presents, he got a Chuck the Truck, which is a talking truck, a new bike, and lots of other bits and pieces.
At the moment, Mitch does not really have a favorite character that he follows, but he does like all boys stuff like 'Bob The Builder', so that was the cake that I made for the occasion. The best thing about this cake was the toys he got to keep as a result.
At the end of a big day with so many presents and cake and visitors, the boys curled up together in bed for a brief moment of affection.
