We wish you a Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! Last year we had an ache in our hearts knowing our little Tia was still in China but this year we were all together and it was really special!
On Christmas Eve we celebrated the birth of our Saviour at our Anglican Church. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground after the service.
After appetizers and Christmas music around the Christmas tree the kids headed outside to scatter the magic reindeer dust to help Santa find our house.

Each child opens one gift on Christmas Eve - Here Tia starts with her gift.
Elijah was really excited about putting out the cookies & carrots for Santa and his reindeer :) then it was off to bed where visons of sugarplums (more likely lots of pressies (aus for presents)!) danced in our heads.
Everyone is up and waiting for the signal that it's time to see what Santa brought!




BIKES for everyone!Surfboards for Jonah & IsabellaA Remote Control Firetruck & a giant Legos set for Elijah. Tia got play food, snap n style dolls and bath toys.

We skyped our families and the kids opened the gifts that Grandma & Grandpa Froggie and Grandma Cookie, Aunt Annie & Madeleine sent while they looked on from the other side of the world! That was soooooo cool!

May your Christmas be blessed!
