Christmas morning

24 December 2010

Harper with her own Baby Pinga*. The deal was that she would wrap up her dummy for Santa to take to baby Jesus, in exchange for her own Baby Pinga, but she piked at the last minute and unwrapped it on the way to bed!



Collaberative unwrapping














* Thanks to Juzi who saw Santa at SeaWorld to collect Pinga for delivery to her new home

Sylvanian families

With Renee departing for NZ, we were allowed to open our presents from her today! How lucky are we - we got a house and furniture to go with our Sylvanian families! And we haven't looked back since.

Christmas lights

20 December 2010

We came into the city to see the Christmas windows at David Jones, but got a bit scared by the crowds. And we weren't at all interested in going into "Santa's Cave" (Ed: don't blame them!). So after some very efficient shopping we stopped for a celebratory cupcake!

Bunnings bliss

We love the trolleys at Bunnings - perfect for rainy afternoons as we still get some exercise while Mum exercises her MasterCard! And this time we were allowed to bring our favourite toys to cut laps with.
