Scenes from Christmas 2010

Christmas Tree card by Billy for Daddy

Christmas Eve was spent having dessert and presents with friends before heading home to put on this years Christmas PJs



hanging stockings

and leaving letters and a treat for Santa and the reindeers


Christmas morning and the small people pile onto the end of our bed to open their stockings




her most favourite gift, one Mummy refused to buy and Santa delivered, wheelie shoes



all Santa left

than into the lounge for our family gifts


Billy has looked after this wee polar bear everyday since he got it

making our traditional pancake breakfast


which we share with Isabella's other Mother


some present playing


and dancing to Isabella's records while her hair sets



whanau arrive


and before lunch Gran's Christmas speech where we remember those who are not with us

and celebrate those who are
each year Gran talks about how proud we are of our children and it is gorgeous to watch their faces as she talks about each of them






than it is time for lunch


and chatting


the dessert spread


more presents after lunch









and a quiet afternoon playing



drawing- Kahi did this great sketch of Billy



presents with their Daddy



and after dinner a game of Billy's new Harry Potter Lego


Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day with friends and family...we feel truly blessed to have the wonderful whanau we do xxx
