As with everything in life, Christmas 2015 has whizzed by in a flurry of wrapping paper, food, family, memories, smiles and the beach. Heidi woke Christmas morning to a stuffed Santa sack and was totally flabbergasted at what Santa was capable of. She had certainly underestimated this merry man and I think next year's December bribing will be much more effective. Lewis barely got the chance to put his hands on his wrapping paper before Heidi swooped in to lend her helping hand.
Poppa arrived bearing gifts, a new riding helmet for this little girl...
...a puzzle and some hair clippers for this little boy.
In what seemed like an instant we went from an orderly Christmas tree display to this wonderful mess!
We then headed to Clairview for a beautiful buffet lunch by the sea with the Atkinson family.
A few days later we packed our bags and headed to Agnes Waters for our annual holiday and Bidgood Christmas. Again, presents were piled high and kids could barely sit still as they eyed off dozens of wrapped presents. So for the second time - let the unwrapping begin!
Heidi got a tutu dress from Nana and Pop - I needn't have worried about packing a port for the holiday - she only wore this dress, togs and pyjamas!!
Now with the Christmas tree all packed up for another year, we are enjoying all the wonderful gifts that we received over the festive season. We are also so very grateful for the health and happiness of all our friends and family. Christmas is certainly a time of giving and receiving but also a time for reflection. We have had a wonderful festive season surrounded by those that mean most to us and for we are truly thankful.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
