Dear Chibi,

Drum roll please… P-chan has turned 4!

I knew this day would come.. but I’m still not ready :’) I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to see my little baby grow up so fast….He’s even made his own little friends now. <3

For the past couple of months, P-chan has been a big fan of drums, particularly Taiko drumming. This year Hubby and I threw him a ‘Taiko no Tatsujin’ themed party at home, and everyone joined in on the fun with “A touch of Japan” :D It was such a colourful, festive sight!

Dear Chibi,

Last week we took some time off work for a little getaway at Port Stephens. P-chan has been loving the beaches this summer, so we decided to make use of this beautiful weather and take him to a few more :D (Gosh, February came around fast).

Dear Chibi,

It’s been a year since our last photoshoot, and how much my little boy has grown. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time so he can stay this way forever… three is just the cutest age! (Though I’ve said that about every age so far hehe). All we can do is be present and savour every moment <3

Dear Chibi,

This year we decided to farewell 2022 with a fun night out at Fairfield’s Illuminate New Years Eve event, which makes it our first time taking P-chan out for the New Years Eve fireworks. It was a fabulous evening of free carnival rides, food trucks, entertainment, jetpack shows, performances and of course the 9.30pm fireworks! The kids got free lightsabers which proved to be quite a hit.

Dear Chibi,

Our favourite time of the year has arrived again ^.^ Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from our family to yours :)

Continuing our annual family tradition, here’s our first Christmas tree photo in our new home <3

It’s been a big, busy month full of fun and festivity! Here’s a snap shot of some of the things we got up to in chronological order:

‘Under the Sea’ themed Family Day

Kaz invited us to her corporate family day event for the second year! P-chan enjoyed lots of free food, popcorn, fairy floss, seahorse balloon twisting, ball pit toddler play area, petting zoo, a photobooth, met Santa and received a present to take home! The decorations were on point! Thanks Aunty Kaz!

Dear Chibi,

The end of year is always an exciting time, and this year I got to bring P-chan and Hubby to my company’s Family Day event held at Sydney’s Luna Park! :D It was our first time coming here as a family, and P-chan’s first amusement park experience. I was so excited for this!!

My company had booked out the entire park for the day, though it was split into two sessions. We went to the morning one since it had more activities for younger kids~ petting zoo, face painting, balloon twisting, Santa etc~ though we end up skipping all of that XD. There’s just so much to see and do and not enough time ^^” Gotta try the rides, right?

First up, the Carousel :D

P-chan loved this so much he didn’t want to get off ^^” Who could blame him?

Dear Chibi,

Last month (oh my, it’s December already?), we went away to celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary with family time at the beach. We stayed at Pelican in the city of Lake Macquarie and explored some lovely local beaches. P-chan had an absolute blast splashing in the waves. His big beautiful smile says it all <3
