Christmas and beyond....

Looks like I have been rather slack lately with my blog but I guess it means I have been busy!! It all started when we arrived back from OZ really. Nathans sister Amanda and her partner Gemma surprised nathans parents by coming down for christmas when they didn't think they could come down! That was cool!
Nathans parents came to our house a few nights before xmas for dinner and Amanda and Gemma just walked into the room! Awesome.
It didn't take long for Christmas day to rock around, it was a nice day so we got the couch out of the garage and put it on the grass outside the lounge so we could all sit around and chat and open presents (best part!). Flynn got far too many presents for christmas! New duvet cover, toys galore, a cool fold out chair, books, a bike and a cool bob the builder blanket that his Nana Knight made for him! It was a great day! After all of the pressies where open and paper cleaned up, we got into playing cricket and eating food!
Even Santa came along, flynn really enjoyed his time with Santa! ;-)
Steve and Heidi's dog Flash came along to keep Bella happy and busy for the day! They loved chasing each other around, and tired each other out which was good!
Flynn loved the Thomas bike he got from us!
The kids love to play and play well together!! I had 4 kids in the house on Christmas night! Taylah, Jessica and Xavier sleep on matresses in the lounge and they loved having a sleep over! (Steve and heidi stayed too!).
How do you get 4 kids to sit nicely and smile for a photo? Please let me know because I couldn't do it!! There is always one that has to pull a funny face aye!!
So Christmas was nice and eventful! Nathan, Flynn, Bell and I went down to Steve's in Riverton for new years and had a blast with the kids. We took them to the beach on New years day, tried to show them how to surf cast fish off the beach (the guys caught 6 small fish and threw them back) and we saw a school of dolphins swim by which was cool. Unfortunately we all forgot to bring a camera so obviously can't post any photos from new years!
Since then its just been back to work and hangin out for the next holiday really! Easter is rolling around fast - so we will have to see what happens between now and then!
Take care all xx.
