So we rescheduled the Father Christmas visit a few days later at a local shopping centre. He was quite unfazed by the man with the white beard and in fact wanted to go back and visit him again. A little line-up with Poppa and Emily……..

It can't be 10 days to Christmas!!
Most people I talk to cannot believe it is almost Christmas. A few family members have been sick - Beau and Brett have been unwell and I think Larry has the same cough…...must be a "boy thing"! Anyway I am never really ready for Christmas until after my birthday (which is in a few days), so mad last minute rush is normal for me! The weather has been most confusing with cold one day and hot the next, but there has been enough sun for the roses and this one has the most beautiful perfume. (Even vases of these inside haven't enticed a buyer for our home and with no more open for inspections for a month it is all a little stressful - we just have to wait.)
True summer is about to hit us with 40 degrees predicted in a few days! So despite Beau feeling 'under the weather' we thought we should get into this special season spirit and do a bit of 'Santa stuff'. We decided to go to the city to the Magic Cave but we were told there would be a quite a wait. We were asked to leave our mobile number and they would message us in about 40 minutes. Then they would give us 15 minutes to get there and then another line-up of at least 20 minutes….with a 22 month old - I don't think so! So we had a merry-go-round ride……
…and then we found one of our favourite toys…Thomas the Tank Engine….please Nanna…of course you can!!!…….
He was filled with wonder at all the Christmas decorations and "Missmas trees" and his love of music and performance meant a quick stop too…….
lets check out where Mummy's gone……….
And a good rest on the way home….we forget he is not even two sometimes!…
He was absolutely thrilled to get a photo and stared at it constantly………..
The family are getting together on Christmas Eve this year as Emily is working Christmas Day (one of the inevitable duties of being a nurse)………..so as we plan that special time together I want to wish all of you a wonderful week leading up to Christmas Day (if that is your thing to do of course). I must mention I have been doing some quilting between the 'open for inspections' but can't really show a lot as it is the Mystery class for AQC! I will leave you with the latest White Christmas images from our friends in Canada…..looks magical but pretty darn cold! Penny was on her way for a day of sewing with friends……a bit of preparation beforehand to get out of the driveway I think! Glad you got there Penny!

Gorgeous photos of your precious little man. Christmas will be very special with him this year.
ReplyDeleteprecious grandson - they grow so quickly. Have a wonderful birthday and a great Christmas. I am still working on my Floral Fantasy and do hope to complete the top in the upcoming year - such wonderful designs you make!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing photos of your little grandson. Especially since out grandson is about the same age. We too have our house up for sale after only being here about a year. No lookers right now either, lets hope for better luck for both of us in the New Year. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteHope you get a buyer for your birthday and a few other nice pressies! So glad we live in sunny Adelaide...until it is 40C! Shame on me I have never taken our boys to see Santa, now school is out, I had better do that this week!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Michelle! Hope yours is as nice as mine was today. I loved the photos, especially the last one of Beau.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
