Estella's First Christmas










Christmas 2010 was small, simple, but wonderful. It was Estalla's first Christmas. It was Minol's first Christmas where he "got it". I got a wooden nativity (especially for the kids to make it easier to explain the birth of Christ), so Minol loved playing with that and also gets the Santa part of Christmas too- he enjoyed opening his AND helping everyone else open gifts. We lost Bink, Nick and the kiddies as they headed back to Brisbane for Christmas but we got Puddy. So we had Christmas lunch at our place with Grandma, Grandpa, Mick, Puddy and US! Big Minol made his yummy scrummy BBQ. Lovely lovely! Christmas Eve was nice too. We shared a traditional dinner at mum and dad's with Piret and Maz and the missionaries. We shared some thoughts on Christ and some music which was a really nice way to celebrate our Saviour's birth. And now it's hello 2011!!
