Christmas Day 2009

When Evie woke she was straight in to opening her presents from Santa, naturally, so we all did that together.






We all sat and had Christmas breakfast together and Evie had her "Christmas juice" or sparkling grape juice which she thinks is very special.

Evie has started doing this pose and I have NO IDEA where she gets it from but she looks over her shoulder and pouts, sometimes she even flutters her eyelashes!

I have no idea where Kenny gets his look from either! Maybe he should try Evie's pose!


It really was the morning of wearing silly hats!

Aedan loved his hat... well, he didn't try to rip it off anyway!

Having a chat to Granny and Grandad on Skype.

Evie had just opened her Christmas present which was a toy camera.


She was pretty chuffed with herself.



Granny and Grandad watched Evie and Aedan open all of their presents.

Then we had a call from Aunty Shona and Uncle Graham.

Evie took a photo of them as well!

Shona hasn't quite mastered Evie's pout and Graham had better stick with his day job!

Great hilarity as Uncle Graham was trying to tickle Evie's puggie and steal her nose!

Then out to Fernside where we opened more presents and had lunch with all of the cousins.

"This one's mine"
There's no show without Punch and Evie didn't give Aedan a moments peace for him to try and open his presents himself.

Nan having a cuddle with a tired boy after all the cousins had left. I didn't get photos of the cousins and there turned out to be a massive water fight which wasn't best for the camera.


Evie with her Great Grand-Pop.

Great Grand-Pop with Evie and Aedan.

The first photos of the four of us together at last! Evie was in a hyper mood though and couldn't sit still for long.



Then when Evie was in bed we had a lovely quiet time with Aedan and I took some photos of him on his first Christmas with Daddy.






Look at the first tooth peeking through! What a big grinner.

My Lovely Children

Evie helps me wash Aedan's hair in the bath.

But- Argh- what is this? It appears that Evie has attempted to put some of my make up on! The mascara never quite made it on to the eyelashes.

Aedan decides to destroy Evie's room while she is having stories on Mummy and Daddy's bed.

Duck Feeding

Evie, Aedan and I went out to Kaiapoi to feed the ducks with Sue and Vincent.



Evie and her favourite French man.

Kindy Party

Evie sat on Nan's knee to watch the entertainer at the Kindy Christmas party.

Then there was an afternoon tea for the children afterwrds. This is Evie with her good friend Lucy who also has food allergies so they sat at a table together with all the yummy allergy friendly food.


Evie wore Lucy's shoes most of the afternoon. They are real Flamenco dancing shoes from Spain and Evie thought they were beautiful. I'm surprised she gave them back!
