Christmas with Team Slater

This year was so much fun on Christmas day in our house. Caitlin was getting so excited before the big day and we expected her to be out of bed to check if Santa had been at about 5am. She was really considerate and actually stayed in bed until Callum woke up (I couldn't believe it - bet it never happens again!!). She said she was awake and waiting for ages!

Caitlin was all eyes when she was faced with her Santa sack full of presents.


We shifted the coffee table so we could sit on the mat and look at what Santa had been generous enough to leave for us. All Caitlin really wanted was a Hannah Montanna microphone that records your voice and then plays it back. Santa's elves must have been listening because Santa left one for her.


Caitlin got make up and dress ups and a new summer dress. This is a pic of her giving a fashion parade.


The biggest hit was a fantastic kitchen that Craig and I bought for the kids as a joint present. They both love it, but I think that Cal will be getting the most use out of it! He also got some kids pots and pans from Santa, so they are a hit in the little kitchen.


And of course the biggest hit with the littlest man of the house is the little person sized garbage bin. You can't believe the amount of joy one garbo bin can bring one little man (actually, Mum and Dad, you probably have some idea!)! All we heard on Christmas morning when he ventured out to the living room was "ooooh, biiiin"! I think we may have to have daily "what's in your bin?" photo shots!


Christmas night was a hit too. We had Leoni and Gary and their kids and also Kylie and Gavin and their kids around for tea. It was such a great night, we all got on well, there were no kid arguments and all were happy and merry! I must say tea was pretty yum too, with each of us chipping in with some food.

Hope you had a great Christmas too and that Santa was kind!
