 |
| Genevieve listening to GrandDad read her some of the stories from the very special book he wrote and illustrated for her & Max!! She loves it :) |
 |
| Ready for Santa - this time we remembered a bowl of water for Rudolph too! Just before she went to sleep she said 'Dadda, make sure Grandpa doesn't eat the food I left for Santa and the reindeers' lol she knows him so well ha ha! |
 |
| Christmas morning - patiently waiting for everyone to get up so she can open her stocking / presents from Santa! |

A GREAT family day :) LOTS to celebrate with lovely food and great company!
My favorite line of the blog was recalling Genna's concern for Grandpa not eating Santa and the Reindeer's goodies. What a fantastic Christmas you hosted and it was great to celebrate with you Aussie style.
ReplyDeleteLove, Grandma
Once again, we revisited each and every photo of our Christmas visit in Australia. What a lot of love and attention to detail was put into that holiday and extended visit. It warms our hearts on a below zero, incredibly cold day to think about those precious days. Also, thanks for all of the time and work it took you to prepare this Blog. Grandpa and I greatly appreciate the links to your lives and glimpse into the children's joys each and every day! Love you so much and once in eleven years of celebrating Christmas together is a tough morsel to swallow. Hoping to see you in Florida, Hawaii,a state that is warm and sunny, or home for Christmas in the near future. Love and hugs, Grandma and Grandpa
