Christmas Day

What a cool day we had. It was neat this year as Nathan was a bit more clued up on the whole thing. He was such a good boy too, he loved his presents and played all morning with them. He also ate lots of chocolate and lollies :) I let him go hard for once.

We spent the morning at our house with my family and had a bbq brunch, with ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, croissants, salmon and cream cheese bagels and fruit. Yum!
After Nathan's much needed nap we headed over to Dean's parents to spend the afternoon with the Hilliards. Nathan and Ayla had lots of fun even though it was raining once we got there so they couldn't make the most of their new swing set. It was a long day but a very enjoyable one.

Nathan has headed off on holiday with my mum and dad to Te Kaha, and we will follow, via a couple of days in the Mount. So from about Saturday we will be in wop wop land so fo any regular visitors don't expect an update for a couple of weeks but check in mid January for our holiday pics. Until then hope you and yours have a great break if you're having one. Take Care!

Hmm not to sure about this present business!

What could be in here?

Christmas Eve when he was a bit tired he kept saying "I don't want the big present!!" But on the day was right into it

A packet of golf balls for dad always goes down well

Well it's not so bad when it has a pretty pink bow on it

Nathan loved his car garage as he is just mad on cars at the moment, he got the Lightening McQueen car he thought Santa might bring

Poppa helping Nathan learn to ride his new trike, he got it in the end. But we'll be keeping the gates shut so he doesn't zoom down the hill
