We had a really great Christmas.
We had my family's Christmas the week earlier (as I have blogged previously)
 |
| Presents for my family next to the tree |
 |
| Colour, movement, noise.... this is what Christmas with family is about! |
 |
| Pirates. In Christmas outfits. Bella's chose a candy cane and holly for her shirt. |
 |
| The hit gifts were the mask/hats- wolf for Bella and tiger for Ashley |
 |
| Snowman and Santa found their likeness in cookie form. Rudolph had to make do with an elf. |
 |
| The next day Bella helped put together the trampoline that Gran gave to the girls. |
Then on Christmas Eve we did some extra decorating, put out snacks for Santa and the reindeer and excitedly watched their steady progress towards our house via a NORAD Santa Tracker app.

| A wreath for the kitchen door |
 |
| Presents by the tree, ready for Christmas morning |
 |
| Goodies for Santa Claus and his reindeer. The little carrot is for Rudolph, Bella said. |
 |
| Santa tracker! |
Then on Christmas morning the girls woke at a reasonable hour and opened their stockings. I could hear the *rip*rip*rip* from the other end of the house as Bella literally tore into her gifts and then 'helped' Ashley with hers. We had Christmas trees for breakfast (green cream cheese on toast with cheddar cheese stars) then went outside to investigate reindeer evidence (aha! carrot crumbs!) before opening the big presents.  |
| Toast and cream cheese christmas trees |
 |
| Evidence of reindeer? Or evidence of a crazy mum who chewed & spat carrot at 11pm? |
 |
| The clips were from Santa, hence the excitement of wearing eleventy at once. |
Oh how sweet, looks like it was very similar to our day and presents as well (with 2 girls). It is so cute how the older ones helps the younger one with the presents, but they really want to see if they can pilfer it!. Good also to see that you have passed on the award, ill check them out;)
