Merry Christmas!

I hope you are all impresed - it is only one week after Christmas and I am already getting the blog on!  I must be some kind of domestic goddess. 

We had a great Christmas - very low-key with the day spent here at home with the Masons.  The boys woke up at 5.30am to find a Santa sack on the ends of their beds and calamity followed, with great shrieks of excitement as the presents were unwrapped and little feet stampeded around the house as new toys were road-tested.

Zane and Ella on Christmas Eve, checking the night sky for Santa's sleigh.  (Leigh mentioned on her blog that there was no Santa at their place this year .... not true!!  He is real!!!!!!  We know this because he sent the boys a Christmas video.)

For the first time ever, we cooked a glazed ham.  Oh alright, Zane cooked it, but I enjoyed eating it!

After a simple brekky of weetbix (to leave plenty of room for our Christmas lunch), we had some more pressie opening. Then at about 10am the Masons arrived and we had some nibblies while more pressies were opened.  Thank you everyone for the great pressies for the boys, they loved all of them!  We are now all set for water toys ... if the pool is ever finished .... and Ella will look beautiful with her new dresses.

Liam with his new big boy scooter - only two wheels!!

 

James got one as well - a three wheeled one - very cool as it has flashing lights!!

Thank you for the water toys!!

James in his Woody pyjamas opening his Woody talking cowboy, who has since not left James's side.



I'm not sure how to rotate these pictures - can anyone help?



This is the only pic of me on Xmas day - taken by Liam (if you're wondering why half my head is missing)

James checking out his new boogie board and snorkelling kit

Kerrie cutting up the ham

The gorgeous Ella joined us for lunch.

Uncle Rick was always on hand for cuddles.

Liam was very excited because he got two Christmas crackers.

The obligatory shot of everyone at the table!  It was all too much for James by this stage - he had retired to his room for a little (3 hour) snooze.

Unfortunately it rained all day but it didn't hamper the Christmas fun.  We still got out in the afternoon to stretch the legs and road test the new scooters.
