Big Brother and Little Sister with a Linky

These last two weeks, I've been featuring my daughters. Today's post is of my son, Jeremiah, and his little sister, Amanda. I took these photos over our December holiday. Jeremiah works at an IT company near Cape Town. He had Christmas day off and then a couple of days over New Year. It was special having all four kids together.

Christmas Eve Dinner with Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect

Party Linky #224!

We had a wonderful time at my in-laws' beach house. My mom-in-law always cooks wonderful food and my father-in-law did all the braaing (barbecuing). This was our Christmas Eve meal. The Springbok Sosaties (Kebabs) and Sprinkbok Boerewors (Sausage) came from the neighbors. The Sheep Tails were our starters and came from a cute farm stall, which was originally an old school house. It was the first time any of us had ever eaten them and they were delicious! Probably because my mom-in-law prepared them so well.

Christmas Eve Family Tradition -
Jeremiah, Jessica, Samantha, and Amanda

Our Christmas Eve family tradition is for the kids to open one present each. This comes from my European roots where all the presents are opened on Christmas Eve. My mom and dad started that with us (my brother and I). I found out that the South African neighbors (who gave the Springbok) also open all their presents on Christmas Eve. That's because Christmas morning for them is dedicated to going to church and celebrating the birth of Jesus.

I invite you to share any interesting traditions that you might celebrate in the comments.

3 Sisters and Flowers with #Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect

Party Linky #201!

You might recognize some of today's photos. I chose to share them because I'm doing a short series of photos on the Hex River Valley on my travel blog, 1camera1mom, and these photos were taken on that outing.

By the way, my comment system glitched on last weekend's blog hop and comments on that post were lost, but I did receive them in my inbox and I did read them. Thanks to all who take the time to comment!

Siblings Reading with #Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect
Party Linky #185!

Big Brother and Little Sister

Choosing and editing two photos for today's blog hop has been quite a mission. I have to learn how to use Google Photos. Last week everything was stored and filed away neatly in folders on our desktop. However, our laptop and other electronics were stolen last week from our home while we slept. It's made our lives feel a little bit upside down, but at least we are all fine. And, thank goodness for Google as it automatically saved all of my photos. Sadly, my daughter's Kindle and my Canon Power Shot are also gone as I used both for my blogging, besides the laptop that Hubby and I shared.

Because of this, I haven't created a new post for 1camera1mom, so if you missed last week, you can check it out today. I've also posted a new book review and hope you can take a moment to check out this exciting piece of young adult fiction by Annie Douglass Lima.

I would like to take a moment to feature

a wonderful nonprofit organization called

Destiny Rescue

"We've rescued hundreds of children enslaved around the world, helped keep hundreds more from entering the sex-trade through our various prevention programs, ensured justice for those that have been wronged and have raised awareness to untold numbers. And, we'll continue to expand to help reach even more children in the days ahead!"

Here's a recent interview of the guy who left his job in Australia and moved his family to Thailand to help rescue girls who have been trafficked. On the Australian The Daily Edition:

This is how their organization works:
