Our christmas this year was a very quiet christmas, very special but very quiet....
Mike and I woke up and got ready for church, we went with my folks - mikes folks would normally join us but because moms immune system still isn't 100% she needs to avoid crowds to avoid any kind of sickness. In fact christmas day was the first outing since coming home from hospital - we all got together at my parents place. Church was awesome, all the kiddies came dressed in their finest clothes and dresses - very specail!
After church we went home for a little while, pack up the few pressies under our tree, had some tea, popped the christmas pie in the oven and had some tea....
This is the pups waiting in anticipation to go to "granny and grandpa's" house - they go nuts!!!
Precious tims!
and beautiful holly!
Our christmas table looking lovely and festive!
Our pups proudly wearing their christmas bandanas!!!
The family all gathered! I am so thankful we always get together and we don't have to split our christmas day between two families... lots of our friends do christmas lunch somewhere then they shoot off to spend christmas dinner with the other half of the family... i love that we mostly spend our special occasions together!! Very special!
Ryan and Nala....
Present time!
Cant wait to make a cake from this book - mike is allowed to choose the first cake out of this book to make - watch this space!!
Holly all tuckered out from all the excitement!
My dad taking pictures of the doggies - toooo funny!!!
I just love this :)
Tims loved ripping off the paper from his present.... then he sat by his prized toy after being tired from us throwing it for him!
LUNCH TIME!! My mom made oxtail, pap, rice and butternut bake, I made a christmas pie - not our traditional christmas meal BUT it was perfect - no rush and fuss as all the food was done a couple days before christmas which was awesome!!
And then for pudding which is our tradition was a cheese and biscuit platter (my fav!!)...
And a trifle - mikes fav!!

Baby Brits got so spoilt this christmas - his aunty and uncle (who is a pilot for emirates) gave him / her this AWESOME bag.... its stunning!!!
Luckiest baby ever!!!
We stayed at my folks quite late, had an afternoon swim and then finally made it home where the pups did this until they were taken to their beds at sleep time!
Merry merry christmas 2012 - cant believe you have come and gone!
