Christmas day was a great one for us....the excitement started on Christmas Eve when Fi and Scotty came over to help me put up Jett and Ollie's new trampoline (photos will follow) - Jimmy took Jett out for the morning while we put the tramp up and then we had to keep him out of the backyard for the afternoon. Jett came to the Dungowan Street Carols with me that night and he was such a good boy - he's not a big fan of sitting still but he managed to sit on my lap and listen to my terrible singing for 90% of the time!
I don't know what it is about Christmas day but Jett slept in AGAIN! Only until 7:30 this year which wasn't too but but ohhhh I was so excited about giving him his presents (especially the trampoline!). 'Santa' came during the night and left a pillowcase full of presents for each of the boys and he took a bite out of his banana cake and a sip of his milk (Jett was very taken with that).
After our present opening we went to visit Mum and Dad and wish them a Merry Christmas. Dad even let me mow his lawn....he's usually very particular about the lawn being mowed but he'd had a big skin cancer cut out of his leg and had to stay off his feet. We then came home for family sleep time and then went back to Mum and Dad's in the afternoon for the Barker-Hedgecoe-Grant-Sparkman Christmas celebrations (all 17 of us). Fi and Scotty had made a piniata for the kids which was such a hit (ha ha).....the 6 big Grandkids each had a turn and when it finally fell apart they all got Freddo frogs, Sesame Snaps and Apricot delights (Jimmy and I bought the healthy piniata snacks).
It was such a relaxing day and felt so nice to be surrounded by our awesome and loving family.
