Christmas Part 1

With us heading to Hervey Bay for Christmas this year, we had Christmas with my family early. We heading around to Mum and Dad's place for lunch. Mum had lots of tasty food to snack on and the kids did an awesome job decorating Nana and Poppy's Christmas tree ready for us.

Daniel played Santa for us all. We handed out a present at a time which took a while to do but it was so lovely to see the reactions as the kids opened their presents.

Eliza was stoked to get a diary with a lock from the Howies

Alexander loved his Bluey pencil case 

Daniel loved his Pokemon cards

The Howies gave me a present. As I opened them they were earrings. Howie joked that they were tassels. Jenny said they were for James' pleasure. (They were actually coffee bean earrings. Ha) We laughed so much!

We headed outside for some backyard cricket. It was fun that everyone got involved.

We then enjoyed a tasty Christmas lunch. Thanks Mumma.

We also opened the bonbons that Greg has made - LEGO ones! So very cool. It was nice to not open ones that have junk in them that will end up in the bin - the whole vision of Greg's. The kids enjoyed making creations out of the their lego bits. Howie wasn't so keen because they were just random bits and pieces so he gifted his lego to the kids too. It helped pass the time between the food and pudding too.

I love the bon bon opening faces.

Of course lunch was followed by Mum's delicious pudding. It is a highlight of my Christmas with my family. So yummy. She even put some penny's in the kids' puddings (like Grandma used to when we were younger but we got 5c coins).

A lovely (early) Christmas lunch with family. So glad that we were able to do it before we headed up to Hervey Bay.
