Christmas 2010

We really enjoyed our Aussie Christmas this year.  On Christmas eve, Santa rode through town on his motor cycle.  The kids didn't get to talk to him but enjoyed waving at him.

Later that night, Reef and Jonas left their traditional lamingtons and milk for Santa.  They were careful to leave just 2, so they could have one the next day!

Christmas morning was a little chaotic with 3 guys to open presents.  After a breakfast of fruit loops, they were itching to see what was in Santa's sack.  This is by far Reef's favorite present.  It's a game and lego rolled into one.  He played with it forever before even worrying about his other stuff.

 Lachlan wasn't sure about it all but did like opening his presents with Oma.

For some reason, there aren't any good pictures of Jonas.  HIs favorite present was a new train, Rhenaus.
After present opening and a short nap for Lachlan, we all headed down to the beach.  I loved it and thought it was a great way to spend Christmas, but the boys were anxious to cut the trip short and get home to play with their new stuff.  Oh well...
That afternoon/evening, we headed to Tanya's for a big family gathering.  It was fun for the boys to be with their cousins and also to see the grown-up cousins that we haven't seen for a while.  The food was different from American Christmas food, but still really good.  I don't think I'll ever be a fan of the Christmas pudding though...
