Gone troppo: Happy new year everyone!

Hello lovely people, we hope you had a wonderful christmas and hope 2009 is a fantastic one for you all. As usual we have loads of photos for you. Damian and I have brought each other a new video cam for xmas so we'll be able to post videos here too in future. This is Kylin on xmas eve sleeping in his santa sack.

Pete n Deb sent us "sheep products" to add to the "reindeers have been here" illusion. On xmas morning there was reindeer fluff snagged in trees and all over the lawn, and a reindeer poo in mummys shoe, Kylin loved this but was a bit miffed that they had made so much mess.

Present time, he loved everything, and kept saying oooohhh it's beautiful thank you santa.

one of santa's presents was a kids shaving kit, so it was off to the bathroom to shave with daddy and be all smooth.

We had a lovely stress free xmas just the three of us, we did lots of crafty stuff in the days leading up so we had lots of little things we'd made amongst our brought decorations which was nice. Boxing day we had Marisol, Shane, Dan, Bindi and the kids over for a leftovers day.

more dress ups - too cute

Damian went back on the 31st, Kylin and I went to "visit" Bindi n Dan and ended up staying the night. We had a fab time, and the kids played beautifully.

On the 2nd, Rachael flew up with her boyfriend Ben to stay with us for almost a week. We went to Palm Cove, Ellis beach and Yorkies for lunch on one of the days, and lunch and the lagoon on another day. For the rest of the time we just hung around home and veged.

It was so fab to spend time with them, I hope when Kylin is 18 he is as sweet and thoughtfull as Ben is. They were both so great with Kylin, he was very sad to see them go.
