Our family shoot

What a lovely time we had at the Johannesburg Botanical gardens.
This will be the last family shoot with only three members.....

I just love this photo

I havent been here in ages but just had to share this awesome pic of Amber.
It captures her personality so completely!

AMber and her new puppt Dora

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. In short- Amber loves watching Dora the Explorer and just recieved a puppy from Tannie Muis. Need I say more.

Dora (the explorer...)

Amber and Dora on the way to ballet

Lowveld

I had to start with this photo of Ambers first ballet class! She loves it so much! I remember taking two ballet classes as a child and hating every moment. Who would have guessed that I would enjoy watching my Pixie enjoy it so much!

AMber and Xanthis having a bath at Graskop. This is bribe material for later in life :D

Nadine and Shawn joined us on our trip to the Lowveld. We had such a great time despite the cold!!

Fireplace 

Impala in the kruger Park. They are so full up there that everyone refers to them as MacDonalds :D

We were so lucky with these elephants. They suddenly changed direction and started running straight towards our car and crossed the road right in front of us. Amber and Xanthis were so excited! It was too cute to see the babies follow there mommies across the road!

Ambers favorite is the Zebra

Oom Seekooi

This was a little turtle sitting on a rock in the middle of this watering hole

Amber had flu during our trip and was still such a good and brave little girl. We took the quads through the mountain on an hour trip and Amber loved every moment. This photo was after the helmets were off. I wish we had taken a pic with the full gear on. She kept turning and looking at me saying: Mommy, are you enjoying yourself? We were so full of dust and dirt as it is winter and very dry!! Amber didn't complain once despite being sick. My brave little Pixie

You go girl!!!

Nadine and Xanthis. 

Shawn and Xanthis!

Joburg Zoo

We took Amber to the Zoo on Sunday! We haven't been for a while now and its always great to go see the animals, have a great lunch and spend some family time together.

Amber really enjoyed the giraffe, elephant, hippo, polar bear and the camels.

Also, she loved the rides they had and it was a big fight to try and get her away from them. Bribing with ice cream didn't even help :-)

Hope you enjoy the photo's!

Daddy pushing Amber in the Hippo Car

Mwah

Amber and Isabella. Issi couldnt stop looking at AMber.

Amber loved taking pictures of the animals with her camera!

When she saw Timon her first question was - mommy, where is Pumba??

The Mosterts

Riding the spaceship

My sister in law- Sune invited us all for a weekend away to Mabilingwe game reserve. Why, because her results were being released that weekend and she did not want to wait for them alone :-)

Needless to say, she passed and is now officially a chartered accountant!!

We had such a great weekend. I am sooooo behind with the blog, this was the beginning of March but I had to post some pics so enjoy!!
