Christmas Prep

I'm back...only temporarily away while having too much Christmas fun.  We've had my parents here, Valerie and now Brett's parents - we love a full house and what could be better during the holidays!

Just a couple of pictures here of prepping for Christmas with more to come.

So, the Air Swimmer...anyone else get one of these for xmas?  Or better question...anyone else give one of these and therefore have to assemble it?  Not easy.  But well worth it when Oli was SO excited to open a mysterious remote control and after playing with it for awhile, in swam a huge fish.

Brett and Grandad Mike with smiles on their faces...this is after a good 90 mins of frustration.

Grandad Mike, the engineer, inspecting the mechanics and the 'neutral boyancy' that the Air Swimmer demands.

My parents, the proud gifters of this item.

An afternoon outing to her favorite activity right now...the "weee". 

Grandma enjoying the fresh air and listening to Julia squeal in delight.

Daredevil...nearly upside down without holding on.

Christmas Eve movie...a bit too scary for Julia so Oli was protecting her. 

Organzing and reorganizing the ornaments.
