awww

Last weekend the three of us went into the city to do some last minute shopping. I sent the boys off to get a photo with Santa Claus and this is what they came back with. Not too bad I guess. Probably could have taken the hat off and got him to sit up straight but not a bad effort. Naturally I thought it was cute.

A cute little visitor

Last week we had a special little visitor come to our place. Little Clancy Mackin was just beautiful; meanwhile Noah was busy destroying the place and showing off.

Early Christmas @ Nanna Dee's

Originally we had plans of going to my Mum & Roger's house Christmas Eve to open presents with them and to see Santa Claus arrive. Mum & Roger hired a Santa especially for their only grandchildren Olivia & Noah and we were determined to get down to their place to see him but..... Things got unbelievably busy and we knew that we couldn't possible make it so we decided to open presents on Wednesday night instead.

We took a drive to go see some of the Christmas lights near Mum's house.

Thanks Aunty Jan for the Gruffalo book. We love it and read it all the time. Mummy nearly knows all the words already.

"All gone". Noah ran straight past all the presents that Santa delivered just so he could see if the reindeer had eaten their hay.

"Oh no reindeer poop"

The cat he so desperately wanted.

Wow a big boy scooter.

Every Christmas/Birthday I think to myself "He can't possibly get more than he did last time".......turns out he can!!!!!

An Aussie Christmas wouldn't be complete without a water slide would it?

Ripping up in December????

Weirdo weather lately. We had 23ml of rain here before Christmas so Richard ripped up one of our paddocks.

Senior Citizen's Christmas party

Noah has spent a fair amount of time with the Tammin Seniors this year while his Nanna Margaret babysits him on Tuesdays. They have all been so lovely to him and he has grown quite attached to all of them. They insisted he attend their Christmas party held last Thursday. To show his affection for them he made them each a special decoration to hang on their tree. Lets just say it went down extremely well... Noah received more pinches on his little cheeks then most kids get in a lifetime.

Love the wheat bin in the background.

A bit of "us" time

Nanna Margaret had Noah for an entire night last week while Richard and I went to my staff Christmas party. We had way too many drinks, but we did have a great care-free night.
