All Things Merry and Bright : Our Christmas in Pictures

Hello Friends and Family! What a great week! It was nice to have a little holiday from the bloggy, but I missed all of you like crazy! Here is what we have been up to:

A Picture with Santa ended up being a picture with the nativity (baby Jesus) for Addi. She wouldn't touch Santa with a 39 and a half foot pole!

A snack at the chocolate shop after pictures with Mr. Claus.

Baking cookies for Santa.

Instead of having a snowball fight and building snowmen, we jumped on our trampoline on Christmas Eve.





Cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph!



The Christmas Story.

The night before Christmas (followed by Addi hiding under her covers for hours in fear of Santa coming to our house.)

Although Addi does not like Santa, Santa loves Addi and brought her plenty of toys ;)

He ate up his cookies and even left a note for the girls!

Stocking time!













Addi thought the stockings would warm up her feet :)

Christmas at Matt's boss' house. The dogs lounging after their Christmas feast.

Beautiful Christmas table filled with amazing Christmas food and even better Christmas company. We are blessed to have such wonderful people surrounding us here in Oz.

"crackers"

crowns :)

On December 28th we celebrated Destiny's half birthday with cupcakes and...

She colored a picture for her dear friend as a gift to teach her the spirit of giving.

The following day brought a trip to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.

Walking with friends.

We even saw a platypus! It was so fun!

Mr. Platy is swimming right there, but difficult to see.



On our way out, we stopped to say bye-bye to a roo!

Special gifts from an extra special gal! (Thank you SO much, Jenae! The girls and dolls love the blankets you made!)

The girls were so blessed with many wonderful gifts from so many great people, we feel loved even though many miles separate us from our family.


We hope your Christmas was merry and that you have a very happy and blessed New Year!


We are off to Sydney to enjoy the fireworks tonight! Pictures to come soon!


Enjoy today!
