It’s now Boxing Day, and already Christmas is just a memory, but one which I’ve captured with my camera, so the moments are preserved forever.
We spent most of the time at my mom’s house. Christmas Eve was our main dinner at my moms house with my brother and his family too, as my brother was...
what wonderful photos Jenty!
I especially love the one with Bradley in the silly glasses in front of the tree.
loved these shots. the eyes on Bradley. WOW! WOW! also fun to see that the wrapping paper shows cold weather scenes. I asked you awhile back if the decorations for Christmas down there are based on snow and stuff, and I missed the answer…duh….
The mustache picture kills me!! lol.. what a great set of photographs!
Wonderful photographs. What a fun filled atmosphere.
Personally, being from Mumbai. India, rains and summer are the only seasons we know. So I wonder I would like snow or no.
Lovely photographs. Great presentation.
Memories to treasure for ever. Great series, as always.
That Bradley of yours sure does have some amazing eyes!
Wonderful Christmas shots, Jenty!
Great Christmas captures. Love the swimming shots.
Love the first shot of all the children. Wonderful! Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Just love all the face shots! Stunning. =)
And my: what a lot of pressies!
Looks like it was a wonderful Christmas.
The shot of the eyes at the edge of the pool is just stunning
beautiful!
looks like a really fun day!! the hugging brothers pic is awesome… and the close up of bradley’s eyes is gorgeous too!
your kids are both SO gorgeous, they make fantastic subjects for you!!
It was also here in Florida swimming time at the beach on Christmas Day 
You kids are adorable, Jeanette!
Best wishes for 2010 and a lot of photo jobs for you!
Susanne
Lovely memories to treasure and look back on in years to come.
@Tanya and all the shots in the pool were with my 70-300 lens that I don’t like using I’m very pleased with them. Cannot wait for my new lens now!

The pictures are awesome!

I absolutely love the one of the boys hugging, so special.

Tomorrow it’s Christmas eve, and the excitement in this house is building. I just love having kids in the house at this time of year. Everything is filled with magic and tradition.
One of the things I was determined to do this year, was take the boys to see Father Christmas at Cresta Shopping Centre. I’ve...

Merry Christmas Jeanette to you adn your family.
You’re going to pull that photo out in 20 years time and have a good laugh at it. So cute man!!! Merry Christmas Jeanette
What a great photo! Connor hiding is priceless.
so funny! He does look exactly like santa so he MUST be the real deal!
Oh Connor !!!! Glad you did it!!! He is the REAL Father Christmas – he hasn’t aged since Elaine was little !!
Ow that’s too special Jeanette!!
lol I love that!!!!
[...] remember I told you all about what Santa at Crest Shopping Centre told him about the Transformer Mask? That it was going to be under the tree? Well… that has now caused endless [...]
[...] We visit Father Christmas at Cresta, because he is the real [...]
The plan was to take photos of both boys with Santa hats on, but Bradley wasn’t feeling well and refused… and as you can see Connor wasn’t too pleased either. But I managed to get very cute photos anyway
And you’ve seen this one, because I’ve had it as my avatar on Twitter and Facebook and...

So cute! Wasn’t it Connor who didn’t want to play along last year?
So sweet. I just love the santa hat. His expressions are perfect!
I love pic no. 1 and 2, just too gorgeous. I think I tell you this every time “he is very photogenic a beautiful child”.
Very cute, althought the first one is my favourite. Love the twinkle in his eyes.
adorable as always! Your boys have such amazing eyes!
too cute!
I just love the 1st top one ~ your Connor is just so cute and lovable!!! What nice pics Jeanette
AAAHHHH, he’s sooo CUTE!!!
You could just love him up when he looks at you like that……I will be good for Father Christmas……..
WOW! (yes…I say that a lot online as well.) But seriously…that first shot…..he totally looks like Bradley. I had to do a double take. Do you have pics of Bradley at this age you could share for comparison???? I’d love that.
Aaaaw … he is the cutest littlest elf!!!
I’m telling you, there’s nothing better than celebrating Christmas in the southern hemisphere where you can enjoy the hot weather with friends and family and spend your days in the pool (or at the beach but we’re never that lucky at Christmas time). Jealous yet?Here are the last photos of our Christmas… I promise
Licking...

2008 left me feeling a little like that last photo!
acidicices last blog post..Hello 2009
WOW! I have never seen or heard of a flame lily, but that is gorgeous. I adore lilies and I just had to show that to my husband
What a beautiful set of shots. I just love that you all were playing in the water during Christmas. What fun!
Momisodess last blog post..It Finally Happened. I Cracked.
They are all lovely Jeanette, I have some difficult bulbs here as well. They sulked for 10 years after I transplanted them.. *sigh* and only flowered last year.. I thought the wallabies had eaten them but no, they were just sulking.. xoxoxox Yay for Christmas in the pool.
frogpondsrocks last blog post..My imaginary friends…
as always, fantastic pics. I especially love the pool shots and the Groucho glasses!
Aah – they are all beautiful – as always! Love the one with Elaine and Jackie. Beautiful one of Bradley (for frame .. for me!??) Love Connor’s face in pool! Last one is precious – the ‘wild child’ sleeps!
Jeanette, your Christmas looks nice and warm! Great photo of the sunflower, your beautiful son….and all of them really! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Tinas last blog post..Merry Christmas
Just a social call… I didn’t play this week…
Lovely photos as always!
Wonderful and warm holiday pics, I love it! I really love the sunflower and that last one of Connor is soooo cute! And Bradley is SUCH a beautiful boy.
Karins last blog post..Weekly Winners: 21 – 27 December
Ah, such perfect shots, all! I definitely could enjoy Christmas where it’s warm. Yep.
Maggie’s Minds last blog post..Weekly Winners 12/28/08
Oh, Jenty, they are all so lively and wonderful. That last one is the epitome of toddlerhood!
I love the shark thing — it’s very cute! The flame lily is gorgeous. It’s very strange to see photos of people in pools and flowers and all when we have a couple feet of snow and it’s 3 degrees out!
julies last blog post..Weekly Winners!
Hello again…
thanks for visit and comment
NO I dont have photoshop…
I must admite I struggled as didnt use a flash and it was not a very sunny day…had her close to the window for light.
marcelles last blog post..Photo’s of Zet (taken on Xmas day )
What Christmas does to toddlers? Shoot that was me after it was all over!
My brother and I used to do that whole shark in the water thing, too. That photo brought back a ton of memories of spending hours in the pool together.
Huckdolls last blog post..So Much
These are all gorgeous. But that last one, well it speaks for itself! Just perfect!
I have to say it’s kinda strange to see kids in the pool at Christmas! : )
Merry Holidays!
Elaines last blog post..Weekly Winners – 12/28 – The Year in Review
They are all lovely photo’s Jeanette and each one tells a story. I especially like the sunflower pic and the one of Bradley *my beautiful child*
Stunning
gorgeous once again . . . . I should take a photo of all the puddles of ice around here!! 50 inches of rain this month!
If you could see my face right now, it’s yellow and green (it depends on the language) of jalousie !! I think I am born on the wrong side of the world !
All such beautiful photos. I love the funny glasses.
Secret Mom Thoughtss last blog post..Weekly Winners-Holiday Lights
I love the last one. Mine looked about the same around 11 Christmas morning. It was present overload.
Wonderful shots this week.
Lisas last blog post..Yep…once again, it’s all my fault

You did make me jealous!And not only because of the pool and the sunflower and the good weather!
But because each and every one of those pictures is a winner!! Wonderful!
I hope you have a nice Sunday Jeanette!

Connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=December 21-27 2008
I’m jealous…but saying that I have over the last 4 years chosen to stay here for xmas as the atmosphere is like nothing I’ve experienced back home at Xmas time…its family I miss at this time.
Photo’s are amazing, each one tells a story – the flower is very special as well..
Thanks for sharing.

On the way home from work two weeks ago, my dad heard that 2 of the Kanonkop wines won had international awards for the best Cabernet Sauvignon and best Burgundy. He bought a bottle of each of the wines in question at the bottle store… along with throngs of other people who’d also heard the...
