Christmas is just around the corner, and I still can't believe it's already that soon. It certainly doesn't feel like it here in Bribane. They have lots of decorations out and Myer puts up a fun display based on a children's book every year, but it's just too hot to be Christmas.
We spend lots of time soaking up the A/C in various stores and BB loves pushing the tiny little shopping trolley.
Apparently when you go to playgroups (and it's probably true if day care as well), Christmas/end of the school year =lots of sweet treats. We had fun frosting some red and green cupcakes, though BB mostly just ate the frosting.
We like to call it sensory learning and gone motor skills, because we all know how hard it is to get those sprinkles onto the cookie.
BB calls it the perfect excuse to get her face and clothes covered in food. But don't let her hands get messy! That'll just freak her out...she's her father's daughter alright.
For being a toddler who enjoys destroying things, BB has been surprisingly good around all of the Christmas decorations.
She helped us decorate our tree without throwing any of the ornaments!
She even helped daddy put the star on the tree.
It's a good little tree. We are very thankful for everyone that has made this Christmas wonderful. We may be far from family and friends, but we've certainly felt their love and generosity.
What would Christmas be without a trip through our local nature center to see the wallabies?!
And of course no Christmas is complete without a bit of water play.
BB is getting more and more adventurous every day. She's climbing up things, hanging off of the jungle gym like a monkey and sliding like a mad woman.
