oh how i love my sister in law for having family christmas at her house. they have a great house on the edge of the bush, with huge rooms and a pool (which was empty this year but i'll get to that...) we always have a great time and she's an excellent host.
so late morning boxing day, we packed up the kids, food and gifts and made our way to her house. mum instantly swooped in and grabbed alex and then the gift exchanging began.
mum had wrapped my gifts in this gorgeous paper, they looked so nice i barely wanted to unwrap them!
joseph with one of the favourites of the day - a new scooter from nanna and grandad
alex about to get into his name puzzle with a little help from daddy
new lego from aunty donna - she absolutely nailed the gifts this year...
as you can see! madeline had been bugging me for a pomsie for months and i was like uhhh no. so i tipped off donna and now she is her absolute hero. good on her. i wasn't buying one. lol.
laura and i ♥
mum and i ♥
she is the best. isaac keeps telling dad that every time he sees me i look more and more like her. let's be honest, there are much worse things i could think of.
lunch was a bunch of food brought by everyone, slapped on the table to help yourself. perfect. just as relaxed as yesterday... i am liking these stress free christmas celebrations! makes it much easier to think about what it's really about.
okay. so. the pool. of course the kids were dying to have a swim, but the liner had been damaged and is going to be repaired next week. so no swimming this year. thankfully the kids saw the funny side of it and agreed to all get in and pull a face while i got a shot of them enjoying their boxing day "swim" bahahaha. i love it. their faces are solid gold. such good sports.
another christmas done and dusted... time to go home and rest. ♥
