DS: Felix Theodore (NB)Random Event: You have to move overseas. Why and how is everybody adapting?Happy Christmas!This has been a very interesting year for the McAdams family. The highlight has been the arrival of our new baby boy, Felix Theodore, on 5th December. He came three weeks early, but fortunately with no complications. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19 inches long. Felix was born at home even though we hadn't planned on it. By the time Lucy noticed she was in labour, our little man was already making his way out. We had no time to get to the hospital!The older kids dote on their baby brother. They’ve been having an interesting year themselves as well.Rose is ten, on her last year of primary school and doing an excellent job as usual. Her school has decided to put her in the Gifted and Talented programme because of her interest and hard work. We’re very proud of her. As always, she loves to read. Her newfound passion is Ancient History.Julius and Simon are eight. They couldn’t possibly be more different. Julius enjoys rough play, is loud and likes to drive his siblings crazy, whereas Simon is quiet, caring and prefers to read or build forts with his LEGO. In spite of their opposite personalities, the boys are best friends and always look out for each other. They both joined their school football team this year and are having great fun at it.Stella is five and began her first year of primary school this September. The school year hasn't had the greatest start for her, though. Barely three weeks after school started, she came down with the chicken pox. She developed a particularly rotten case, poor thing. Fortunately it was over a couple of weeks later, but she was miserable. She’s now doing perfectly well and enjoying her first year at her “big kid” school.

DS: Andrew Anthony "Drew"DBird: Buddy MillarHappy Holidays Everyone-
We'd like to start by officially welcoming the newest addition to our family, little Drew Anthony, our first son. He was born December 2, a winter baby just like Gracie. He weighed 7 lbs, 2 ounces.
Drew is a joy to have around the house. He really is a sweetie- he's very calm and hardly ever cries.
Anthony and I are doing great. We're both working in the same pediatric practice, and the hospital is doing fine.
Robin has just started middle school this year. She tried out for the girls basketball team and is loving it! She’s handled this tough transition very well and we’re so proud of her!
Gracie is in 4th grade this year. She’s enjoying her new pet, Buddy (or as she likes to call him, Buddy Millar). Gracie is taking a bunch of dance classes over at Express-It. She’s currently enrolled in jazz, tap, and modern dance. We can’t wait to see her recital in January!
Piper is in 1st grade this year. She is quite the reader, and has picked out a new favorite series (the “Magic Tree House Books,” in case any of you are stumped in terms of presents for her :)
Sasha and Ellie have just started in their primary class this year, they’re very excited to have graduated to the girls’ school building :) After seeing Anthony and I cave to Gracie’s pleas for a pet, they are working on us for some frogs!
This has been a wonderful year; and happy holidays to all of your families, from the Millar’s!

DS: Dominic Balthazar
DS: Orion IcarusClaire was recently accepted to join a reality tv show which will follow the ongoings of various families from different backgrounds for the next five years. When Claire confessed to Luke, he was surprisingly overjoyed; he loves the idea of being involved in a countrywide sociology experiment.The family have recently relocated from Manchester to Nottingham following Luke's promotion at work. Their home is a plush inner city apartment, far removed from their previous home. Oakley in particular misses the countryside, so we often make visits to his Aunt and Uncle's farm; he adores caring for the animals and having a riot on the quad bikes. He also has his own bedroom now which he loves as it is his own space. He used to get very upset with his younger brothers for messing with his things and taking his toys. Milo is definitely the scamp of the crew and no-one can turn their back for a second without him up to mischief. Dominic is quite demanding in another sense - always insisting on attention and someone to sit down and play with him. Milo can be quite rough with him so they havn't been getting on well for a few months. Janey on the other hand is rather more calm and collected and enjoys her home comforts where she keeps herself busy colouring, painting, and drawing. This year we welcomed a new edition to the family: baby Orion. Janey had initially begged to have a baby sister but in the last year she's become increasingly close to Oakley and become quite the tomboy. Thus she was glad the baby was a boy and is already trying to teach him the names of football teams.

Happy Holidays Everyone!George got a promotion at work at the beginning of the year, and we moved into a larger home to make room for our growing family. Eloise continues to stay at home with the children, and is very involved in school and sports.Ava is now in 3rd grade and has long brown hair and big brown eyes. She is our little performer, and enjoys putting on plays for the family. She also loves playing softball, and is on an undefeated team.Sam started kindergarten this year, and absolutely loves it. His blonde hair is starting to darken, but he still has his beautiful blue eyes. He is very quiet, and has had some trouble making friends, but he's beginning to break out of his shell.Sophie has blonde hair and blue eyes, and is in her last year of preschool. She is our tomboy and loves getting dirty with Sam, Cole, and Will. She has set up a garden in the backyard and loves watering it every day. She can't wait to start "real school" next fall.Cole and Will have blonde hair and brown eyes, and love playing with bugs and making up stories. They are the best of friends and are inseparable!Our newest addition, Olivia, came this summer. She has big blue eyes and brown hair, just like dad, and so far is loud and friendly (just like her big sisters).

This time of year is always cause for celebration, but this year maybe a little more so! After four beautiful girls, we have been blessed with a handsome little boy. Christian Elliot was born on December 15, weighing a whopping eight pounds three ounces. He already looks exactly like his dad, from the color of his eyes to his facial expressions. Christian is the perfect addition to our family.Flynn recently opened up his own advertising business. It's still just starting up but we have high hopes for its success.Jordana is keeping busy being a stay-at-home mom to six young children. She wouldn't have it any other way!Jamison has settled in quite nicely over the past five years. He's now in the sixth grade and a very good student. He's also gotten more and more interested in sports and just started playing soccer and baseball.Viola is a fifth-grader now. She is a little social butterfly and has many friends. We recently enrolled her in a ballet class.Juliet just started the third grade. She's a little quiet and shy, so she doesn't speak up too much in class, but her teachers tell us that she's an excellent student.Isabelle, who's in kindergarten, was so excited to finally be starting school like all her older siblings. She just learned how to write her name and will show just about anyone who shows interest.We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!Love,

Well it's that time of year again and we are busier then ever.
Firstly we would like to announce the arrival of our 6th child and 3rd daughter, Zuri Yasmin Connors. She was born on the 13th of Nov weighing 6lb 15oz. She is our first child to get my blonde hair and blue eyes although she looks like daddy.
I have been busy getting everything ready for our family Christmas do. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone again and I am honoured to be hosting this year.
Jake has also been a busy man. His company just landed a huge client so they have been working him hard.
Ackley has a girlfriend, June Felicity, and has been busy with the church. His school work has been impeccable this year and he hopes to be accepted to Uni next year.
Nerida has been busy with dancing. She has her big recital this weekend and is excited that grandma and grandpa will be making it.
Sasha has been struggling a little at school so now has a tutor 3 nights a week. She is, however, doing well with her netball team. They made the finals this year but unfortunately didn't win.
Jesep and Eros are still our little pranksters. We had a knock on the door recently from a neighbour who told us the boys had told them that we never feed any of the kids and they were looking for food. I was mortified but luckily have a very understanding neighbour.
Well I must leave it here for now.
We wish you all a very safe trip here and can't wait to see everyone.
Love Nicole, Jake, Ackley, Nerida, Sasha, Jesep, Eros and Zuri.Random Event: Your mother announces she is pregnant, the only problem being she says the baby belongs to your husband. What are you going to do?

Merry Christmas!It's been such a busy year! I don't even know how I have the time to sit down and write this letter.JM and I are pleased to announce the birth of our sixth son, Brandt Icarus, who was born on December 10 at 6:52 PM. He arrived at a whopping 9 pounds, 9 ounces and 22 inches long (ouch!). The children and I are just now settling in to a new routine with the baby.Shaw is in 5th grade this year. After 5 years of schooling, he is finally starting to participate more in class. He explained to me just a few weeks ago that he had decided he wanted to be funny and smart, so he had to start paying attention more often in school.Thor is in 4th grade now (because he skipped the entire 1st grade). He is excelling in all of his classes and is becoming very interested in drama and band. He says he wants to learn how to play the guitar.Cosmo is also in school now, as a proud Kindergartener. He has made many new friends and is in love with his teacher Miss Clemmens.The twins, Jules and Zarek, are still very content and quiet children. They like to sit and talk in their 'twin' language while building things with their blocks.We have enjoyed this past year tremendously. We even ventured out of the house as a family and visited Disney World this past April! What an experience! Lets just say that we won't be doing that again until the children are a little bit older.I hope all is well with you and your family. Happy Holidays and God Bless!The Minski Family
