Christmas morning

 I had to pop this one up if only to show them at their 21st! Its not quite the passionate embrase it looks, they were thanking each other for their presents!

Christmas Day ...

 Our little Santa baby

 Daddy lit up the front of our house this year, apparently next year will be bigger and better though!

 Cheers to an intimate christmas lunch

A few more Christmas ones ...

 Uncle Miles came round for breakfast on Christmas morning with lots of presents! 

Harry was very lucky and got this cool work bench. He loves his power tools ... just like his Godfather!

And Holly was very excited with the barbie doll he bought her - spoilt rotton!

Some iPhone Christmas snaps

 I still haven't had a chance to clear my camera, but here are some photos from Xmas day.  It was a different Christmas.  Uncle Miles came around for breakfast, then the 5 of us had a lovely lunch together and then Andrew took Holly and Harry to Tim and Uyens for the big Christmas lunch while I stayed home and Grandma came and stayed with Luce and I for dinner.  There are a few more chrissy pix to come soon from the real camera!

 This year "Pa Santa" turned into the Aussie Santa! 

 Christmas morning, before the santa sacks were attacked!!

 Me and my beautiful boy, this little ball of gorgeousness is just too cute for words at the moment. He has just discovered his lengthy vocabulary and is coming out with the funniest things ... i am laughing every hour at the moment!  a few Harry funnies

"Mummy, don't ever ever do that again!"

"Harry doesn't remember ... oh yes Harry remembers!"

"Let Harry think about it ..... ummmmmm NO!"

Last night when he lost the plot over a lolly pop he found ... "Daddy said Harry not have lolly pop, but Harry does WANT lolly pop!

He is the funniest little boy, and has me laughing so much that I'm thankful for all the pelvic floor exercises I'm doing!!

 Uncle Tims new pool on Christmas day!

Putting up the Xmas tree ... on the 1st of Dec!

 We put up the christmas tree a couple of weeks ago. Both the kids took turns putting the star on top!

On top of this Daddy has also gone a bit crazy with the lights and has decorated the front of the house! We have lots of twinkle lights, Merry Christmas signs, and even a big inflatable santa!

Our neighbours won this year, but Daddy swears that it will be twice as bright next year!

Merry Christmas!

 This is the first year that we have had a Santa photo where no one is afraid of Santa! It is also the first year the kids have sat on his la. For the past 4 years Santa has hidden behind the chair while the kids sat on the chair, and popped his head out that the last minute for the photo!
Harry's was insistent that he wore his Roar outfit (as he likes to call it!) and wouldn't take no for an answer, I kind of like it though, because this is an absolute snapshot of him at this age - always in costume!

Santa also had a sense of humour this year and asked if he could use  Lucy in his sleeping baby pose!!! Very cute!

The Boys

Our little boys watching over the ocean

Currumbin Sanctuary

Harry and the Roo

Our kids just love animals of all sorts, they inherited their Aunty Nickee genes and have no fear and want to cuddle any animal they come across.

Christmas celebration on the Gold Coast

We flew up to the Gold Coast two days after Christmas, we spend a lovely 5 days there with Nanny and Pa and all the family. We were spoilt rotton by everyone. Thank you all for your very kind gifts and love xx

All the cousins together!

Xmas Morning!

The night before christmas, sprinkling reindeer food on the lawn - we needed to be sure that they would know where to land.

Ta DA! The finished product - Santa was kind enough to deliver a slide, stairs, door and a sandpit full of toys!! The kids were just beside themselves.

and a nice shady spot to play when its hot.
