Christmas this year has probably been one of the most exciting for us and I can imagine that they will only get better from now for some time to come! Finally I could put some of my inner child to use and had a good excuse for decorations and present buying! To be honest, up until this point, I've not really bought master G many toys to play with, so it was nice to be able to go and buy a few to spoil my baby! I think we had a few wins and he got very spoilt by everyone.
The Friday prior to Xmas we had most of the neighbours for some drinks and nibbles, it was so lovely to catch up with everyone. Great company and the food wasn't too bad either. It kind of felt a little bit ominous with the threatening military acquisitions looming, I think we all felt a bit like it was a 'last supper' together as a community although I'm certain it won't be!
After the party Mum and I got a bit creative and made a wreath that I had seen on facebook! We were both pretty impressed with our efforts! Which also seemed a good opportunity to take some photos!
Mum and I spent Christmas Eve afternoon with a few cocktails and after lots of giggling we both went to bed early with a bottle of water each. Fortunately we pulled up pretty well!

| Mojito my fav! |
 |
| Something with cardamom and rosewater! Yummy |
 |
| Kerrie special! |
With two sets of grandparents to play pass the parcel (the parcel being the baby), he was fairly well exhausted by the end of the day!
Christmas lunch was a lovely pork belly, chicken, potato bake and a vegetable salad and it was a big hit with everyone I'm sorry I didn't get a photo! Grandma made a lovely coffee and chocolate dessert with fruit and nuts! We were all so stuffed that none of us ate any dinner.

| Poppy was given a lovely rug that bubba thought was pretty nice! |
Loads of toys!! Tonka truck, paw-patrol truck and some paw patrol clothes, lawn mower, walker, play station table, bubble bath toy, duckie bath toy, lots of books and a mini monkey camp chair! Wow!

| Corinthian wafers!! The best!! |

| Four generations! Great Grandma Shirley, Garrett, Justin and Nanna Marina. |

| Bubbles in the bath! How cool! |
Bub was not the only one to be spoilt this year! I got a number of wonderful gifts and these are just a couple.
 |
| Xmas wreath for my table. |
 |
| And another table decoration for the rest of the year. Just lovely. |
We attempted to get some nice photos with some bubbles, but G wasn't really that impressed. More interested in a plastic cup! Far more entertaining!
Yeehaw, bring on the new year! How was your xmas? Did you get spoilt like we did? I'm thinking a cruise next year to save on washing up! What do you think?
