Xmas Update

Ok, so I can see it has been a while since I have posted... I have been offline and have much to update, but will contain myself to the important bits!!!



At the start of December, Jasper got his yellow belt in tae-kwon-do. There was a grading and everything, and it was so cute! I teared up and everything... he was so proud of himself! here he is with his belt..



My mum and dad came to watch the ceremony, and had a pic too. they are very proud grandparents!

Ok, onto Christmas! Paul works away, so was not going to be here for Christmas Day. Jasper and I were heading to Busselton (about 3 - 3.5 hours south of us) with my mum and dad. My uncle, aunty and 2 cousins live there.

Paul flew out to work on the Monday before Xmas, so we let him open one present that night before bed.. He got an Ultimate Omnitrix from Ben 10.. he was very excited!!!

Here is Jasper with his dad.

On the Tuesday before Xmas, my sister and her 3 kids came over for a play as we were not going to be seeing them on Xmas day either. Here is a photo of Jasper with his boy cousin, Campbell. He is the happiest little boy you have ever seen!! This is the first photo I have of just the boys!!

Here are all the kids together.. L-R - Campbell, Jasper, Georgia and Devin.Here is where we spent Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing morning.. Jasper and his cousin Tashi on the trampoline.. Jasper spent a lot of time on here - in between all the eating he did!!!

Here are our cousins, Sarah and Tashi. They are such sweet girls, and the love between them and Jasper is wonderful!!!

My little Santa Claus on Xmas Eve.

My boy and I.. We had such a great time and a lot of fun!

Christmas morning I get woken up by Jasper.. Where we were staying was a unit in a caravan park. It was really nice. Jasper had bunk beds (so slept on the top of course!!), and I had a separate room. I told him to stay in bed in the morning and call for me incase he slipped getting out of bed... but no, he climbed down and came to wake me up with a "merry Christmas, mummy" and a kiss. We snuggled in bed for a minute talking about if we heard Santa... neither of us did.. Jasper said he saw his stocking filled at the end of his bed. I asked him if he opened it, and he said no, he wanted to wait for me!

First things first, we needed to check what the reindeer did to the carrot we left outside. What a MESS!! It was spread everywhere!!! Santa had nibbled the cookies we left out, and drank some of the water too...

This is part of the stocking emptying!
There were 3 presents in Busselton, and the rest we had already asked Santa to leave at our home for when we got back. After opening the presents and getting dressed, we headed over to the McCamish's house for MORE presents and lunch.

After lunch, the kids were so tired.. late night and an early morning... so Jasper and Tashi went for a sleep in Tashi's room. It was too cute to not take a photo!

I took this just before I woke them up - because it was time for..........


BEACH CRICKET!!!!!

Ok, so I know we Aussies are used to hot weather for Xmas - no snow and plenty of sunshine... I could not imagine being inside and cold for Xmas.. we spent a few hours at the beach playing cricket and soaking up the sun. It was beautiful!! What a way to be spending the day. Anyone jealous yet?

Then back to the McCamish's for more food and drinks!!!

It was nice to get home, and Jasper was excited about the rest of his presents, but we had a great time this Xmas.

Boxing Day lead to a big drive home (lucky my mum and dad did the driving, because Jasper and I slept!). Then home for more presents, early dinner and early to bed!!

I can't believe it is all over for another year. It came so quickly and is over so quickly.. now we have to wait another year for it all again!!!

Medically speaking, we have no updates.. Jasper is healthy and has his next blood test due in January.

I have much more to post on, but this is enough for now, and the rest of the stuff is not as exciting as the Yellow Belt and Xmas!!!

Thanks for reading.
