Christmas Eve Lunch... some fresh Prawns... so amazing !
I think Zeric is trying to figure out what he is holding.. but when we got the meat out.. he was chowing down.

Who said you need a fireplace to hang stockings ? all you need is some cooking twine and tacs
James took after his Mom and started making a Ham on Christmas Eve, He made a Maple glaze and stuck some big chuncks of pineapple and cloves in the top.

Just before we dug into it... It turned out so yummy !
Christmas Eve and the boys are passed out in front of the tree, just after some Xmas movies and treats... Before Santa makes his way to see Z man
This Christmas was really the first one he gathered what was going on. But he did'nt realize the gifts were there to open.. He was more worried about getting his cup of milk.
At first he would use his pointer finger and his thumb to peel the wrapping paper back as carefully as he could and place the pieces next to him in a neat pile... but soon he was catching on that just ripping it got him there faster.
Dad got him a Zman sized guitar so they can play together
8 weeks old and so happy
Little Eira Lee
Nan, Gramps and Caitlin came over to play santa. I have so many great photos.. but Z man loves to run around naked. So... I had to choose carefully ;)
All his new gifts and he still turns to the box to hide in and play
James Family gets together every Christmas for lunch and this year we went to Uncle Wayne and Aunty Debs where the pool was the main attraction. Zeric and James had a ball together

I think this is the only shot I got of most everyone together... so many family members were there, such a good time to catch up with everyone. We had an amazing lunch.. I got no pictures of it because it was gone with in seconds. I really wanted to get a picture of the Lamb Roast Uncle Mark makes every year... that was gone in a split second. I look forward to that every year we are in OZ for Xmas.
Merry Christmas
Zeric is such an amazing big brother... so much love for his little sister. Always has to be a part of whats going on with the little miss.
