a merry little christmas...


Christmas this year was very different. Usually I spend Christmas being peaceful with my parents... all very grown up - champagne and mangos for breakfast, presents, a nice swim in the ocean... but this year has seen the introduction of little people in my life, and what a joyous introduction!
The countdown to Christmas day was no longer just counted in shopping days, but in pieces of advent calendar chocolate that marked one less day til Santa comes!! A fridge door letter to Santa with pictures of a mere selection of desirable toys added to the anticipation... and on the morning, well... 5:30am has never been so exciting!
And this year another wonderful new addition... presents appeared from under the towering tree labelled "to baby".... and baby was quietly excited with her little pj's and bibs... :-)
Oh how exciting to look forward to many years of little smiles, giggles, mountains of torn paper and the glee of shiny new toys :-)
