Daily Routines!

Everyday we have a bath or a shower and like dressing up as eskimos in our towels. We love running around the house 'rudey tudey' and making our Mum/Dad chase us before we get dressed.

Ari still has a day sleep, and even though I am a big boy now, sometimes I have to have one after a late night, otherwise I get very grumpy. I still have my sheepy and Ari still loves her thumb.

Coffee Group Friends

In November, we celebrated our Coffee Group party at Whangarata Zoo. All my friends also turned four, we had a yummy chocolate 4 cake. Me and Ari, liked the elephant and monkeys the best.
We all go to different kindys, but still have fun when we meet up and play. Especially now that everyone has a little brother or sister.

Kaipara CannonBall Express

In September, we went on a day trip from Ellerslie to Helensville on an old Steam Train. It was soo much fun, because I still love trains.

The whistle, was so loud and lots of steam! I got to have a look in the drivers cab.

We had lunch at Helensville, and their was an old steam engine I got to play on.

It was so cool going on a long train ride through the countryside, I cant wait to go on a trip to Wellington, - mum says when I'm a bit older!

Papas Ship - New Plymouth

Last week we went and visited Papa's ship where he works in New Plymouth. We had awesome weather and had a fantastic time. Papa showed us all around his ship, where he sleeps, eats and fixes the big noisy engines. It is soo big and we had to go down lots of small stairs on 3 different levels. We met some of his friends he works with, and watched other ships and cranes working at the Port.

He also took us on lots of 'tiki tours' pointing out all the sights of new plymouth.

We hired a funny bike, mum and dad peddaled us on some of the Coastal Pathway that is very pretty alongside the beach. At night we went to the cool light show at Pukeora Park, and the next day we hired a little boat and dad rowed around the lake. Although, I was a little scared, Ari was brave and sat by herself. Their was so much to do, and we promised Papa we would be back next summer to visit again.

Christmas 2010

Ari & I had a fantastic Xmas and got very spoilt from Santa and our whanau. I got up really early, but had to wait for Ari who woke up an hour later, before I could open the presents under the tree and in my stocking. Santa gave me a new learning laptop and lots of toys and clothes. Ari got a new bike and kitchen playset, and lots of dora clothes.

Then after eating chocolate for breakfast, we went to Porpor and Papa's house and got more presents. This is a picture of me on my new plasma bike, which even adults can ride. Ari got a dora bag, more dolls and a cute pram to push them in.

We then went up to dads whanau for xmas lunch and got more presents. We had fun playing with our cousins, eating yummy food and listening to the cook island band. I already cant wait until next Christmas!

Tana Turns 4!

I am now 4 Years Old. I had a great party with four of my friends, Tommy, Katie, Leah and Mathew.

Mum made my James cake and we had a small party at home.

We had so much fun playing party games, eating yummy food, and playing with my new toys.

I got lots of cool presents, Tommy train things and other cool toys.
