This post has been sitting in my drafts for an age, waiting for the kids to get better and my latest PhD chapter to be complete so I could add words to the pictures and publish it. Finally I can!
We had an early Christmas party for a group of Sandy’s toddler friends and my Mum friends. One of the Mum’s playgroup had a Santa costume going begging that day, so it would have been rude not to have the big man come see the littles, wouldn’t it?
It was the perfect excuse to start not only the festive outfits, but indeed the MATCHING festive outfits. Ah, the joys of having more than one baby!
For some obscure reason Stuart was upstairs fixing his hair when we all started singing jingle bells. He obviously didn’t hear us or he would have come down because he knows that’s the song that brings Santa…
Santa handed some presents to Roslyn and Pheobe (the babies)…
…then let the toddlers delve into his present sack for their gifts.
Sandy got a car so he was very pleased!
For some reason little miss seperation anxiety didn’t argue with sitting on Santa’s knee… I wonder why 😉
Sandy was so cute, as the man in red walked away upstairs (to the roof, where he parked his sleigh, yeah?) he was shouting “BYE BYE SANTA!!!!”. When Stuart came back down Sandy told him he’d missed Santa and Stuart was very upset, obviously!
Santa accosting happily married women, shocker.
Anyway, it was the first of what will be many merry days for us this festive season, now to get the tree up!
Ho ho ho.
