Merry Christmas!

Well we are heading off to the coast this afternoon/evening provided Dean finishes off the work he needs to get done at the shop. I am looking forward to us all having a break for a few days, goodness knows we all need it, especially Dean who has worked sooo hard this year with very little time off!

Jasmine is really excited to visit Oma and Opa again. She asked Dean yesterday if he had finished his work as she knew we were going once he got it all done, and when we told her no she got very upset because she said she missed her Oma and Opa. We called Opa so she could speak to him and he cheered her up thank goodness. :-)

She just can't wait to go, it is a shame she can't see them more often.

I am sooo looking forward to Christmas this year. It is so much fun watching Jaz open the presents, and it will also be fun watching Kyan play with the wrappers! LOL She had a wonderful time last year handing out the presents to every one and was so excited about the whole thing. I think with her being a year older it will be even better this year.

Next year I will have to be a bit more careful with things as she seems to pick up on things so easily.. I am going to print out our gift cards instead of hand writing them. I remember as a child thinking it was strange that Mum had written on the cards for the presents that Santa got us. So from next year on I am going to be sure and print the cards out! :-) Either that or disguise my handwriting...

Hopefully Kyan will cope with the trip better than last time we went to the coast. Last time we went, it took us 5hrs to get home on what is normally a 3hr trip because he was rather cranky. Not a fun journey! He is forward facing in his car seat now though and no longer suffers from bad reflux, so hopefully things will go a bit more smoothly!

I was up to 1am last night getting all the gifts wrapped! That will teach me to leave the wrapping till the last minute, although I was not expecting to leave till tomorrow. Anyway, I had better get packing, it takes me hours to pack for three of us, and this time we will have to pack the gifts etc as well. I so hate travelling with babies, there is so much stuff to take with you and so many things to forget!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, filled with friends, family and lots of cheer and laughter!
Best wishes from,
Robyn, Dean, Jasmine and Kyan
