Ok, I have to start by saying SORRY! for my blogging absence. I know it’s been almost a month, and that’s terrible. In my defence. December is an exhausting month, and I’ve been so tired in the evening I cant be bothered blogging!
So here’s the month…. Christmas style!
Setting up the Christmas Tree with Nanna 
Ben, getting out the train
Nanna helps Ethan spread out the branches
So exciting!
Happy Benny
Putting on the star! 
Ben and Ethan’s favourite part, the Christmas Train!
The train was most defiantly the high light of the festivities. Unfortunately this was the best picture we got of the tree. More to come on Christmas day I’m sure!
Fire place.
Our toy storage unit, and the decorations on top. (Out of reach of little hands)
Of course a photo with Santa!
We spend one Saturday in December at Nanna’s house for a Christmas party with Sal’s extended family. All the kids had a water fight, it was a first for the boys, and they LOVED it!

We also spent one morning in December at the Multiple Birth Club Christmas party.
Every morning we wrote on our chalk board how many days there are until Santa comes
Benny wrote “10” all by him self!
And throughout the month, we used our home made advent calendar. It was a HUGE success. Ben was especially keen to check it every day and watch the parcels get less and less.
Also in December we made Christmas presents for the boys’ teachers. We bought plain calico bags from a local craft shop. We then decorated them with fabric paint. We made 5 of these for their teachers. 
Teachers presents all wrapped up
We also gave the teachers hand made cards and rocky road.
Closer to Christmas we made a gingerbread train.
It was rather difficult and slightly disastrous!
This is how it turned out……. (it lasted 5 mins before it fell apart and melted!) 
Christmas Eve, Aunty Shell and Uncle Michael came to celebrate Christmas with us.
The present giving/receiving was the highlight for the boys!
Ahhhh, Ben and Ethan’s favourite present…. A water squirting toy.
Benny LOVED it, and spent hours running round in the yard. Unfortunately at the start of the morning, it was overcast and raining…. though that didn’t bother the boys.. As the morning progressed, the sun came out, and by lunch time, it was sunny…… Due to the initial rainy/cloudy start to the day, today, poor Ben got his first ever sunburn :(
As I type, it’s 9pm on Christmas Eve…... The boys are very excited about Christmas tomorrow.
They both sat on Santa’s knee a few weeks ago and both asked Santa for a Robot. They have been good boys, so they should get a robot…. they were sure to ask Santa what type of cookies he likes. He told them chocolate chip.
Today we made chocolate chip cookies for Santa, and put them out for him with milk….. plus some carrot for the reindeer too!
It’s been a busy month, sorry again for the lack of blogging….. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
