MY FIRST CHRISTMAS

Well, that's it - my very first Christmas and man am I exhausted!

I started the day with a big kiss for Daddy as he headed off to work. Yes, he had to go into work after the big power failure on Tuesday. But he was home by 10am and then we got to open some pressies (just as well since I had to listen to Mum whinge all morning until Dad got back!) I got a beautiful quilted Santa Sack from my Gran and Pop - just as well since it was full by the end of the day!
After Mum, Dad, Johnno and I had our own little party at home, we headed up to Perth for lunch at Great Nana and Great Grandad's. I wish someone had warned me about the chaos that followed! So many people, so many presents and I was totally spoilt. I was so overwhelmed that Mum and Dad had to take me for a drive to calm me down a bit (I think it was more the sore tummy than anything else). After a nice sleep and good feed, I gave everyone big smiles while they ate their Christmas lunch. They were all wearing very suss paper crowns - I wonder if they know what they look like...

Then we headed back to our place and the Walker family came over for a yummy dinner of prawns and salads (I know it was yummy as it filtered through to me this morning together with just a little bit of white wine). Again I was spoilt and Mum finally let me open my big pressies from Santa - I love the Animal Train and am very relieved Daddy and Uncle Dean figured out how to make it drive and play more than just the demo song - that would grow tired very quickly I imagine.


I'm so happy I got to spend the day with all my wonderful family and send big hugs, kisses and just a little bit of drool for all the excellent presents. I can't wait 'til next year when I will be up and about - I'll have to be extra good this year so Santa comes again in 2007. Hmm, 2007. I have big plans for the new year, I'll let you know.....

Love and Christmas cuddles,

Hannah
