Hi all
Well after all the rushing, planning and shopping Christmas came together like a wonderful fairytale. On Christmas Eve we spent the day, donating plasma (me), watching Madagascar 2 at the movies, making a Peter Pan costume (because Santa was just tooo busy) and enjoying time with my sister, Olivia and Ben.
Christmas Day began at 6.30am, with the tiny tiptoes of a lil princess. Immie opened her presents from Santa..with great delight Santa got it right, especially with the Dora Light. Well Done Santa!!!. After that we went to the beach and enjoyed some sand castles, wind and swimming till 8.30. Back home just before 9am, we got ready to have Livi, Ben, Nige and Jody over for brekkie. We opened a ton more presents, and Kody returned home at about 11.30 to a heap more. Every one was very happy with what they received Immie's best present being the Dora light, Kody's was UB Funkeys . I was very spoilt with lots of presents, including new Pandora beads, new necklace and a very special gift of my Granma's recipe book written in her handwriting. Jason was spoilt to with a hamper of coffee treats for his new hobby of coffee making amongst many other presents : ).
After this we trekked down to my fabulous Auntie's and Uncle's place in Mandurah. There we ate...ate.....drank...ate....drank...laugh...giggled..talked....and ate some more. We had lunch then shortly followed by Dinner. Then some went off to see the lights, while we tucked a very over tired Immie into bed at 7pm. Afterwards we sat around eating more and chatting. Boxing Day bought more food, a slippery slide and our traditional pinata bashing lol. Then home to Perth, were the kids went nuts trying every new toy out, and Jason and I collapsed on the lounge. It's hard work eating and chatting I tell you : P.
We all had a great Christmas, the only downfall being Immie's poor skin and mood, she did not seem too worried but the Actuane tablets had really made a mess out of her lips with them cracking and bleeding on Christmas Day.
After Christmas we spent lots of lovely days together until Jas returned to work on the Tuesday. I even got to go to the sales and bought a brand new.....Christmas tree for next year, how very exciting, especially when the trolley holding the tree decided to take off down the car park, while I was fussing with my bag. Luckily two ladies stopped it before it ran into a car. Funny now not so funny then : ).
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, with lots of giggles, laughter, food and love,
Love
The Holmes Gang
