Yillup's Place For Everything

The big family "do" at my mum's place this year was absolutely crazy! There were 22 people there, aunts, unclues, cousins, brothers, sisters, neices, nephews and everyone all having fun. It's starting to get a bit TOO big though - we're all hvaing kids of our own, and with Kim due again this year it's only set to get bigger! We might have to start breaking into smaller family groups.

But as it was it was a good day!

The opening of presents was loud, chaotic and heaps of fun for the kids. Caitie got to practice her photography with her NEW camera...


And there weren't enough seats for everyone, but somehow these 3 monkeys managed to claim the best spots in the house!

The tree looked pretty bare by the time everyone was finished...

And then everyone separated to have a bitof fun while lunch was getting prepared and served. Of course the boys dissapeard to Ryan's room to play the Playstation. Both Ryan and Ethan got new games they couldn't keep away from...

We were serenaded frequently by the blue penguin singing "Blue Christmas". Phillip absolutely adores it and comes racing whenever it plays, but it freaked Elijah out!

I don't have any photos of the actual lunch to show, but I'm sure heaps of others in the family have some they'll share. I was too busy having more than my share of the 3kgs of prawns!

ALSO, I want to share a parting Christmas present with the scrappers out there...
