Up to Dec 2015: Baby Birthdays, Baptisms, Dress-Ups, and Christmas

Neko's Baptism in March was a family affair, with the Polish-American grandparents joining us in Brisbane: 

Father Jan uses the new Christening mug

Neko is fascinated by the Baptismal Candle

Ewa and Jan came from Denver, USA for the ceremony

Formalities over, time for fun...

The Christening gown has been handed down in GirlRob's family 

The football grand final in September featuring the North Queensland Cowboys was a chance to dress up this year's crop of babies in support (and obviously a factor in their winning!) "Cowboys are my team, and we'll take 'em to the top....".

                           

Father Jan officiated at Jenni and Neil's wedding in 2013, and Fletcher's Baptism in 2015: 

Neil's sister Katherine is Fletcher's Godmother

Dressing up in the outfits Nanna bought from the hill-tribes on the border of China and Mongolia - before she knew about any of these potential grandchildren!!

Is Nanna going to make us do this often???

Happy early 1st birthday before Scarlett returns to Canada, first at home with her cousins, then at Southbank Parklands with everyone who loves our ex-pats: 

Halloween - another opportunity for dress-ups!!:

And a 1 year old birthday party for Neko in December:

Look at me Neko, not the camera!

And a bite for Grandad...
