almost christmas

Well more than a month has gone by, naughty me. Life has been so busy around here, I just don't know where the time has gone. Daddy and I have been taking lots of photos to make sure we capture everything. Christmas is getting closer only 12 days to go. Our tree has been up for well over a month already we have been doing some Christmas crafts together, we still have a few more to do, plus some baking to take to Exmouth. I forgot to mention we are off to exmouth for Christmas. We are all very excited and will be sure to share lots of photos.

Santa comes to TP

Today we went to visit Santa, it is the first year that Emily hasn't been scared of the jolly red man! In fact she woke up nice and early this morning and climbed in to my bed for a cuddle and the first thing she asked was "Is it Christmas day today, are we going to see Santa?" No sorry its not quite Christmas yet, but yes we are definitely off to visit Santa.

Daddy had just come off nights and he didn't want to miss out on our outing, so we all got dressed up ready for our snaps and went off early to the markets, hoping to avoid the queue. We weren't quite early enough to see him arrive in the fire truck... Pilbara style. So we went straight to Santa's grotto to wait our turn to meet him. Emily was a little nervous at first, but quite happily hopped onto his knee to tell him what she wanted for Christmas.... a little dolls house! Little Miss Georgia was quite happy until she turned into the big white beard and then no amount of bribery worked to get a smile out of her, it was tears all the way. We were very proud of the girls, Emily as it was her very first photo we have of her with Santa and Georgia because even though we had some tears, she was still happy enough to sit for a few quick photos.
I'm looking forward to seeing the professional pics, but here is one that Daddy managed to snap on his phone.
