MORE CHRISTMAS MORNING TIME

Surprise or joy - definitely JOY!!! The robot has arrived to take over his vacuuming job FOREVER!!! THANK YOU DAD :) We've put it to the test and its 10 from 10!





Steve has been waiting since he was about 12 for a new Scalextrics, the old one rusted out in the roof of the Allendale house when we moved back from Adelaide, much to his and Adam's dismay! It has been on his Christmas list since then and finally two decades later his wish comes true. Rori also had it on her list this year - didn't actually appear on Jaime Baie and Tulle's lists BUT I'm sure they will all enjoy LOL!



So let the fun begin,







Constructing the track was easy,








Many hands made light work, Tulle and Carol were right into it!







Daddy and Baie were committed and Tulle and Carol chatted!







You will work it out Steve, just go back to the "destructions"!





And there was more - a gorgeous set of mugs...










Rori's artwork on the calendar for A Carol was super, Carol and Shaun loved it:)













Tulle thrilled with her mini manicure voucher from Auntie Bron and Uncle Adam.





As usual Steve comes up with special gifts on the day. Christmas is all about giving and Steve is especially good at it.








In the past Steve and Adam have come up with some interesting gift exchanges, this year Steve trumped!


With great thought and care and at great financial expense to himself (completely selfless is Steve), he went all out for the family.............see below!


Bron and her Armani sunglasses - how did he know green is Bron's favourite colour

(That's just Steve, he makes it his business to known these things)


Grandad and his Calvin Klein boxers.
(How does Steve know that Grandad doesn't know who Calvin Klein is, but takes the time to introduce him via boxers? Grandad is a jocks man! Oooh, is that too much information?)


Shaun was thrilled with his very expensive Georgio Armani bucket hat! (Hope the texta doesn't leake!)


And the joy of giving continues.....Saving the best for Bro'









OH MY GOSH - Just what he's been dreaming of!!!!




















Wait for it..
























Yes, you've got it at last Adam...
















It's a "DIRTY DANCING" calendar!!!!!














"You're so bad Johnny,(Steve)"














Nash is fascinated with the nursery rhyme book from SJBTR, they have recorded the rhymes in their own voices - just gorgeous!









Baie's first 'heels'!!

And that was just the morning!

I DOES look as if the Roomba was a big hit. LOL

I am enjoying the Kindle. It's not something that has ever been on my wish list as I use the public library...ours requires no user fee so borrowed books cost nothing. But there are quite a few free books available on the internet and I do have a gift card to go along with it.

I hope and pray that you and your family have a wonderful new year!
