Hello everybody.
We hope you all survived the madness of christmas and it was as you wished it would be. As you would have heard on the news, we have had monsoonal rain here on and off for a couple of weeks now, so we start the pics with one of Kylin when he realised he could make a shower from the rain off the tarp - the pool was warm so the rain water felt very cold!
At least when it rains here, it is still warm, it doesn't interrupt our pool time, we get a waterfall on the mountain and the creek gives us that lovely running water sound. Win Win. :)
Ok some xmas cooking. These are orange cream filled dates, dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with milk chocolate. Very fiddly to make but they were more than a little bit yum!
Merry christmas little boo. xoxoHe opened presents from us and family on xmas eve morning.
Remote control tarantula. Thank you Uncle Peter and Auntie Debbie. xoxo
Lots of board games, chosen to help his fine motor skills, and concentration.
My xmas is on xmas eve so we are able to space things out over two days which is great for Kylin not having everything all at once. I have to tell you, those hats are way too hot for up here. 
Ahhh more food. This was a watermelon, lime and mint drink I made which may or may not have had just a splash of vodka in it. Very refreshing in this humidity.
Chicken wings that had marinaded for 24hrs and were very slooooow cooked. So sticky, so yummy. 3kgs didn't last very long at all. :)
Santa brought us all a Wii.
Santa brought us all a Wii. The kids loved the dance star game and are very quick to pick up the moves.
We had a cyclone form overnight and hit at 4.30am xmas morning. Before that we took down the tarp and pulled in all our furniture just in case. Poor Kylin woke up so early from the noise and once he unwrapped the Wii was so very patient cause he couldn't start playing with it until after 7 when the storm had passed.

Boxing day was spent with Dan, Bindi and kids. We had a wonderful day, sharing our leftovers and just doing loads of nothing after the xmas hoo har. This is Brodie, Baylie and Kylin eating their dinner together....Oh and Bindi doing a "look at me I'm schpechial"
Bindi n Dan set the boys up in their loungeroom so they'd crash out and we could just keep doing nothing, but it wasn't to be. Kylin and Brodie were just far too tired and excited and were still awake very late so we bundled Kylin up and brought him home to his own bed. It was dark, I took this photo with the flash so it looks like daylight. :)
Hope you have survived the holiday season unstressed so far and as we lead up to the new year, find lots of good things about the past year to be grateful for, rather than concentrating on the bad things.
