Santa take 4

This year Ela was not afraid to sit on Santas knee and tell him all about what she'd like for chrissie (a jewellery box and a new bed!) Maybe it was being 'big sister' or maybe she has finally overcome her fear of the big red guy.

We are certainly getting into the christmas spirit. Have decorated the house - Ela loves the word 'bauble' and also loves to throw them around. Luckily they are not made of the same materials as when I was a kid or I would have a lot of cleaning up to do.

And of course there have been plenty of christmas parties already - Nana sent over the cutest reindeer outfit which she wore to the ABC concert with her friend Zoe. They danced till they dropped with Fireman Sam, Fifi Flowertots, Postman Pat, the Fairies and the Koala Brothers. The cutest bit was when a boy tried to 'cut in' and dance with Zoe, Ela soon showed him the door, snatching her friend back and not letting go till it was over.
