Christmas Presents

Apparently its only 9 weeks to Christmas and the TV ads have started already!
Well we as a family are fortunate enough to be going to New York for Christmas this year and are very excited about it.
Rick and I decided that as Reuben will not even be 1 by Christmas that we would buy him some developmental toys now while he needs them and not really have any Christmas Presents for him at the time.

My mum thought something similar and so bought him a fire car which he can use from now. Reuben loves it and there are so many options with it- it can be a rocker, a pusher, a ride along and a few other things I think. This is Reuben being pushed along in his new fire car!!

Ricks Birthday

Well. Rick turned 29 on the 3rd of October. Rick being Rick, and being a part of two families who are big into birthdays he had two celebrations.

On his birthday morning he opened his presents and got a couple of nice cheques, a shirt, a dvd, an i-pod case from Reuben and a video i-pod from his mum, dad, granny and wife!! I think he likes his multitude of lovely pressies.



For Ricks birthday dinner we all went to Ballymena where his lovely mother in law cooked one of his favourite meals and we even had a birthday cake!


Then on Friday Reuben and I spent the day with Granny. Rick then joined us in the evening for his birthday tea Granny Carey style!!
Below is a video of a few bits of the day- it is quite long and is really for the benefit of Reubens granny and granda in Canada- feel free to watch it if you wish.
