ho ho ho.

Santa arrived with Byron's gifts a few days before Christmas so that we could celebrate with him before he headed to his Grandparent's house on Christmas Eve.

Then on Christmas Eve, Santa came again (whaaaa?) and delivered some special little gifts for the boys along with a personalized note to Lachlan and Spencer (double whaaaaa?).



I would like to say that Santa had this little letter prepared in advance, but seems he was a bit last minute and was trying to come up with something at 11pm on Christmas Eve.



Spencer slept through the initial surprise and some of the gift opening, but Lachlan was sure to give Spencer's walker a little test run. You know, just to make sure it was safe for his little brother (wink, wink).



Since we had just celebrated his 2nd birthday the month before, Lachlan was well versed on the whole "opening gifts" thing and couldn't wait to help us open presents.






When Spencer finally got up, Lachlan helped him open a few of his gifts as well.






The boys spent the afternoon playing outside while Max and I packed for our big camping adventure.












Lachlan being naughty...






And this walker... $10 on Gumtree (similar to Craigslist)! Looked pretty much brand spankin' new after a good wash. Yep- pretty happy with myself over this purchase. And I think Spencer was happy with his gift from Santa too!



It was a perfect, super low key, relaxed Christmas Day with my beautiful boys!
