Christmas Day 2017

Christmas morning started at the crack of dawn, with the kids getting up even earlier than usual. We read the nativity story with the kids using their puppets that Aunty made a few years ago. Alissa was not impressed...





Then the kids wanted to open their Christmas stockings...filled with all the usual suspects; chocolate, undies, socks and a few surprises! 





Zara picked up on the excited vibes around her and had a great morning!




Opening some family gifts from Santa - board games and a blow up slide for the pool 
Alissa asked for two things from Santa - makeup and wizz fizz lollies. Here she is opening her wizz fizz. 
And her makeup...
Grandma gave the girls new school bags for Christmas from Smiggle. They loved them!

The Lekias family joined us for lunch and brought half the food! It was a lovely, relaxed afternoon. Clint made his famous ham and pork belly. 

Clint also made my favourite turkish delight ice-cream cakes - they are so good!
Some yummy truffles that Nicole made
Traditional Christmas pavlova 

We introduced the Lekias's to Holiday Bingo 

Poor Zara was stuck watching in her playpen because she kept trying to eat the m&m's

We then had leftovers for dinner...it was a lovely Christmas. The next day we were packing and cleaning in preparation for moving house in two days time!
