Chilling out with the Challis'

We stayed in Launceston for a couple of nights before heading home to Hobart. It was great to be around all the family again and the kids especially loved playing with their cousins. I wasn't really with it for most of our time here because I was so unwell, which kind of sucked but I feel really thankful that I was able to rest and take it easy and not have to worry about food or entertaining the kids! Gail and Philip looked after us all really well - as usual, so being sick wasn't too bad. Here are some photos we took over the couple of days we were up there:

{We celebrated Christmas again while we were here and it was great! (It actually did feel like Christmas too!)}

{... fruit-box, Emily gave a quick pose and then...}

{... she was into it!!!}

{Pretty happy about Sultanas - one of Em's favourite foods!}

{Outside jumping off the jetlag! (which actually none of the kids suffered from at all!)}

{Em and Daddy having a kiss - check out Max on the side - Classic!}

{Leilani checking Grandmas Advent Calendar}

{And the cutest scene ever was watching Emily and Leilani reading to Gus!}

They are both little 'mothers' and just love 'helping' with little kids (who are often just as big as them!)

{Mick had to get a photo in the sun to send his work mates back at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton! They have had an average of 0˚C this winter... while we have been living it up back here in Summer!}
