Merry Chirstmas.

We started the day with waffles for breakfast.
With maple syrup and cream.

Then we opened the santa sacks!


All the kids got a water gun each.
They spent most of Christmas day shooting each other on the back lawn.

They all got new clothes and pajamas too.
Which of course they had to wear while shooting each other with the water guns.
Which meant the new clothes were in the wash by lunch time.

Rose got a Slushie maker, all the kids enjoyed her home made slushies.


The kids spent the afternoon playing the new Wii and DS games they received.
James videoed the happenings on his new Digital Video Camera.
He wants to be like Dad and make movies.


Liam enjoyed painting a glider.
His main present was a Lego robot.


Fern was very happy with her presents too.
A few art and origami books.
And a Cupcake baker, she made us all cupcakes for dessert.

We had a roast Turkey Dinner at 2pm and had desserts at 6pm.

And today, Boxing Day, we have sat around playing and eating left overs.

We had a great two days. Very relaxed. Just us as a family. I'm getting a little too close to the baby's arrival to make the trip to Adelaide to spend with the rest of the family this year.

I was very happy baby didn't decided Christmas Day was a good day to be born!
