After a baked ham lunch in air-conditioning at Mum and Dad's on Sunday and the regulation sleep that follows such a meal, we headed out for the Community Christmas Party at Greg's parents Church for the evening. The girls loved the hay ride with Papa driving, the animal farm, the jumping castle and even managed a photo with Santa - all for free. It was great. Between long sessions on the jumping castle they also managed to do some craft, inhale some food and then I found them reverting to their own personalities - Olivia off to play with the kitchen and rustle up a good play food meal, while Ellen was located having found a willing person to read her some stories - a favourite pass-time of hers (thanks Karen! aka Jeremy's Mum).
Greg as usual spent his time catching up with everyone who's known him since he was a little tacker, while I held shoes, craft, food, drink bottles and so on, in between catching up with friends. A pleasant evening rounded off with a drive past some Christmas lights on the way home.
A few early nights are in store for us now I think - Olivia even slept in until 7.15 this morning (normally 5am), so we knew that she was tired!
