And Christmas Continues...

On Friday night (boxing day) we picked Mick up from work at about 9pm and headed for Launceston. I had a practice run of packing everything we own (nearly) as we were heading up to Grandma and Poppas for 3 nights and then up to Stanley for 3 nights, so the car was full of stuff!

The kids were very excited to wake up at Grandma & Poppas house the next morning and have their cousins to play with. It was Christmas again! How exciting!! 
We waited for Nanny King, Matt, Kristy and Gus to arrive and then the present opening began again!!! We then had another yummy lunch out on the new extended deck, it was a beautiful day and the kids had a wonderful time. 

Here are a few snaps from our day..... Grandma with all her Grandchildren

Grandma sharing her Advent Calendar lollies with the grandchildren.... which Emily decided to help herself to a little later and just about finished them off!!!

Mick had to head home late Saturday night because he was rostered on to work Sunday, but I stayed up with the kids until Monday morning. It was a nice relaxing weekend and good to spend time with the Family before we go away. The kids love staying up at Grandma and Poppas and love playing with their cousins!

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
