The Lead Up
At one of out Mothers Group days, we got all the babies organised to do a little photo-shoot... the bib and hat were ours, everything else was set up and provided by one of the other Mums. I decided to use one of the pictures for Christmas Cards that I made and sent out...
THIS was the winning picture that went on the cards... the arm was edited out though hehe!
December 1st is the day to put up our Christmas tree and decorations! Rob and I always put our Santa hats on to get into the spirit - so now William too is joining us on that little tradition :) We also listen to Christmas carols while we decorate, much to RObs annoyance ;)
Look at my chubby little elfie!!
The cutest elf of all :)
Very concentrated on the silver bell...
Oh my gosh!! Christmas is SO exciting!!!
One day whilst part way through changing his nappy, William could no longer resist temptation and bolted for the tree! Ha love this pic... :)
At our Mums group had a Christmas party...
Michelin Man? What do you mean?
We went into the city one day to have a look at all the Christmas pretties, and found ourselves in a Christmas Cave...
William got to sit on a toadstool
He thought it was pretty darn cool!
Getting squeezed by Mum...
Squeezed by Auntie Mel now! Whoa look at all the lights up there!
My second visit to Santas knee - I do NOT like this Santa at all!!! (Will have to scan and post the HAPPY Santa pics soon...)
A crappy pic of our tree...
Christmas Day
We hosted Christmas day at our house - look how pretty our tables looked!
Yay! pressie time!
William eating his present
Wow! Nanna + Tony got me a corn popper!
How do I use this thing Mum?
Ooooo ok...

Steven with one of his pressies...
Melissa with one of her pressies...
Me looking very cheesey with one of my pressies (i wanted some picture frames! Woo!
...and I got an electric wok!
Rob with his pressie from William - bit of a joke as ROb always teased Williams cow print pocket nappy... in fact, he would say it was a bit "gay" - so now he has his very own pair, aww - doesnt he looked pleased? ;)
another pressie for rob!
a tool kit!
William attacking his pressie mountain..
damnit i cant get it open!!!

Thanks Mum! Hmmm....
This caterpillar has the most annoying, insane sounding laugh...
William now loves it - hmm gee thanks Pop!
Cute pic of Melissa and Nan... we havnt spent Christmas with my Nan for years...so it was really lovely to have her with us this year!
Me organising dinner...
The roast chicken I cooked - mmmm

Rob pouring the wine...
Come and get it!!!
Someones dinner... look good?
rub-a-dub-dub thanks for the grub!
William wiht his bon bon, blowing raspberries
For dessert I made chocolate ice cream cake!
and fruit salad! There was also sticky date pudding and trifle...
The dessert servers :)
William later tried to sneak into the nibbles on the coffee table...
... but we caught the cheeky little monkey!
There are more pics from boxing day with Robs fammie, ill post those later! All in all it was a wonderful Christmas - even more so special due to it being Williams first, and OUR first as parents.
It truly WAS a merry Christmas :)
