We have been busy the last week or so getting ready for Christmas! The boys had their end of year Christmas party at daycare, complete with baby farm animals, face painting and a visit from Santa :) We got to listen to the boys sing lots of different Christmas carols.

We celebrated Noahs 2nd birthday last weekend, it was a hot day so we had a great afternoon all swimming in the pool. He loved his penguin cake :)

On Wednesday we went on a boat cruise along the Mandurah canals with my mothers group, to view all the Christmas lights. Just amazing the trouble people go to to decorate their homes, they looked so beautiful. The boys were lucky enough to get their faces painted by Jenelle, she is very clever and we all looked wonderful!

On Friday we had yet another Christmas party at playgroup- another visit from Santa and more presents! Santa must be sooo busy this time of the year ;) Only 5 days till christmas day, we are all ready and waiting!!!

We have been busy this week attending some Christmas celebrations.
Tues night we went to the Mandurah Christmas pageant on the foreshore, we even stayed for
the fireworks at 9pm, which we didnt expect to do with three little vegemites in tow!

We also went to the local Christmas party in the park, not far from where we live. The boys loved seeing Santa and even got a turn to ring his special bell ;)

I am starting to love summer and all the things we can do together as a family. We are all

so excited about Christmas!!

Not alot to report on this week!

We have been doing lots of Christmas shopping though, and put up the tree on Monday night. I dont think I have ever seen Jacob so excited! He is loving the Christmas cards that arrive in the mail, he calls them his 'Christmas books' and keeps them in a little bucket in the toy room. Such an old man! ;)

At least the weather has been good this week, so the boys have been able to play outside alot. They are so obsessed with the sandpit lately. I just gave them an old muffin tray and they are having a ball making banana cupcakes for me :)

We had an action packed weekend!! The boys went shopping & out to lunch on Saturday afternoon with Grandad and Irene, while Mummy and Abbey did some bits and peices at the shops and some household chores- what fun! Then we all went to Adventure World for Grandads work Christmas party. The boys had a great night- even though Mummy banned swimming after 7.30pm due to blue lips and shivering bodies ;) They were still kept entertained though by Santa, the chairlift and lots of other things to see!

Mason was very hesitant about Santa....

And hesitant about the huge pools too... but it took him no longer than 10 mins to get into the spirit ;)

Jacob, on the other hand....well we couldnt get him out of the water. Every day he still talks about Adventure World and asks when we are going to go back....

Sunday was busy too with an afternoon tea to celebrate Grandads birthday (Grandad Willis). Lots of cake and slices, and playing with their cousin Noah of course :) A busy, fun filled weekend which was nice for a change.
