Playing catch up!: Christmas 2010!

The last in my series of catch up posts :D

We had a lovely Christmas!  We were (somewhat ironically given what happened) worried that my parents would be flooded in, so they came on Christmas Eve and stayed over, which Lolly thought was awesome!!! 

Here is our rather large tree :D  Note the absence of ornaments at Lolly height, one of her projects over Christmas was taking all the silver baubles off and putting them in a bucket.  :D

 Presents in the morning!

Love the series of shots of opening this one…

And Snail had a ball too.

The girls get a kite from Nanna and Pop.

Awesome nerf gun.

Dora, sans pants.

DinnerDad’s delicious icecream Christmas cake!

Playing catch up!: Jumpoline!

I hope you like the new look blog! Here is some more catch uo posting...

Our family got a joint Christmas gift this year of a very large (indeed, larger than expected) 14 foot trampoline!!  We put it together on Christmas Eve, in the rain.  Fun was had. 

Snail watches the frame get set up.

 96 springs!

 Smash has first bounce.

 Lolly gets her first go on our “jumpoline!”

It's awesome!

 
Snail looks on “jump, jump, jump!”

 Putting up the net.

Snail has a go, love that face!  

It’s been a great present so far, and Lolly LOVES it!!  She also calls it the "jumpoline" or the “bounceline,” and most days has long bounces on it, especially with Smash.

Christmas Poo to everyone!

Christmas preparations!

Some photos from the last few days I thought I'd share :-) First, our collection (okay, so only two so far) of foolish and annoying singing Christmas animals! The penguin was D's choice for this year, to join last year's gobble gobble turkey.


Christmas is very tiring. Snail needed a little rest while putting up the decorations!


View from a sling, Lolly in the Maya Wrap ring sling, out in the garden while D was planting the old Christmas tree out in the yard.


The old tree in a new home! We had this one for three years! It looks short here, but is actually down a level.



Here is our new one....
