Christmas 2013

All that time, wrapping, thought and stress... it's over in the blink of an eye!

Christmas Eve marked the 14th wedding anniversary for Paul and I. We had a delicious "traditional" Christmas dinner - roast turkey and veg, followed by Christmas pudding!

Christmas Day had Jasper awake super early - but he was quiet as a church mouse til his sister woke at 6.30am. Then it was ON!
They woke their brother up, and with all of us present, we got to presents!!!

Jasper scored 2 games he wanted on the xBox, and a new skateboard among other things.
Molly got just what she wanted, a suitcase, pixie dust and a make up table!

Breakfast was bacon and eggs... not too extravagant as lunch is always a mammoth feast!

We headed down to my parents for lunch and the afternoon. It was a beautiful mild day, just perfect for Christmas Day - especially after the 40C day we had here last year!!!

My mum was insistent we have a family photo taken... here we are!

 and the kids.. good looking bunch, aren't they?
 Jasper opening his tee with Poppie - he was desperate for one, so he could keep practising his tee ball skills over the Xmas break!
 Brent with some hot red lips..
 Lip sharing to Molly.. kisses all round!
 Red lipped Molly with her Poppie
 My beautiful mum and handsome son
 The man and his boys!
 The mum and her babes
 Molly and her daddy having some pool time
 splashing around (and blinking when she shouldn't have!)
 oh, hello. there I am.
 Cricket fun for the boys

 time for a family swim!


 Molly getting warm with her biggest brother and daddy.

 goggle faced cutie!
 the afternoon saw us all just relaxing at home.. Molly with her new makeup...
 and the boys xBoxing away..

Boxing Day was more of the realxing and doing nothing... and now we are back to standard days and life as usual!

2014 will be another year of no medical dramas, all smooth sailing and lots of laughter - I hope!

Thanks for reading.
