On Boxing Day (the day after Christmas for my USA friends) we went to Sal’s Mum’s house (Nanna’s house) to celebrate Christmas and stay for 2 nights. We had a wonderful time :)
Soon after we arrived, the boys wanted to exchange presents….. little boys find presents very exciting, and don’t like waiting too long!

A spontaneous game of wrapping up the boys in used wrapping paper…
and then unwrapping and tickling!
Time for Ben and Ethan’s present. Nanna wrote them a book. It starts “Where is Ben and Ethan’s present?”
The first clue asks “Is it in the pool?”…… At this point, we switched to video for the rest of the treasure hunt.
Thank you Nanna for a fantastic treasure hunt and great swing set. Ben and Ethan LOVED it!
According to the news, it’s been the coldest start to summer in over 70 years. We had a few warm days back in October/November, but most of December has been about 20-23C (67-73F) and overcast and raining most days. It managed to creep up to 28C (82F) when we were at Nanna’s house, so we jumped in the cold pool for a quick swim.
Relaxing after a swim with Uncle Michael, Aunty Shell and Ethan….. who is using Shell’s phone to take a picture of them, while Ben is using our camera to take this picture!
We had a great time, relaxing with family at Nanna’s house. We did so much more, but took the time to enjoy it, and didn’t take any other photos.
