.Christmas 2014.

5:45am wake-up. We made them wait until 7am, they were very patient watching TV whilst surrounded by their presents!
Harvey joined us at 8am. Bleary-eyed, in new car heaven (although the car didn't have wheels yet...we ran out of steam at midnight on Christmas Eve!)
Paper-ripping, fists pumping, squeals of delight. 
Gourmet breakfast with the family followed by a lovely walk to the jetty. 
The smallest children swam, clothes and all. 
The biggest children skimmed rocks.
Home for rest, movie and play time.
Reunited at Gramma & Poppy's house for a funny rendition of the Nativity story - complete with three very strange wise men.
Family presents exchanged and opened followed by another delicious feast and lots of laughter and relaxing together.
It was pure bliss.
