Christmas Day

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a fun filled day. We got to rediscover the joy of Christmas again this year as Kaisha is finally old enough to understand about Santa. She was so excited to discover when she woke up that the biscuits were eaten, the coke was drunk and there were only a few bits of carrot left on the deck. And boy did she enjoy opening presents, and helping everyone else to open theirs too. We had a lovely brunch at Anna and Laura's and then desert later.

The tree, all decked out.

Good morning, look what Santa brought! (I couldn't find Kaisha's gorgeous Santa sack that Aunty Jen made her - I'm hoping that it will turn up in my big clean out over the next 2 weeks)

The favourite toy - party blowers

Yum Chocolate! (like father like daughter)

Dolls Clothes - we gave Kaisha a bunch of her prem clothes as dolls clothes. I can't believe she was ever that small!

Fairy plates and cups - Thank you Grandma & Grandpa

Pretending to be grumpy but struggling when surrounded by presents.

A doll's cot, this gets moved to wherever she is in the house and goes right beside her bed at night. We get told "shhh dolly is asleep" regularly.

Playing Barbies - ok I admit it, I kept playing with it when she went on to the next thing.

Kaisha Update

Kaisha is so excited about Christmas this year. We put the tree up at the end of November because she was asking so much. Of course the lower branches get re-decorated every few days. I also get asked every day if Santa is coming today. I'm getting alot of mileage out of "Santa won't come if you don't ......". And turning on the xmas tree lights every night has turned into a ritual where Kaisha starts asking at about 4pm if its dark enough yet to turn the lights on. Eventually at about 6 I let her to stop the nagging! I haven't put any presents under the tree yet because I don't think Kaisha could stand the suspense.




Kaisha made her own sandwich the other day all by herself. First she got her stool and took it over to the fridge and got out the butter. Then she moved the stool over to the bench and proceeded to make her sandwhich. It had sooooo much butter on it but she ate the whole thing.


Kaisha's favourite game at the moment is to make herself a bed. She does it everyday with whatever materials she can find and in whatever location. Then she makes dolly a bed beside her and they both go to sleep. In the picture below Dolly is in the basket with a blanket over the top. She is finally at an age where she will play by herself and spends hours giving her dolly bath's and putting them to bed. I'm loving the independence.
