Christmas - URGENT!

Hello there family!!

This year we have decided to de-stress Nanna! So I'm wondering if we could all put in a few dollars to sent her on a trip to Tahiti?.....
Ok, no, maybe that's not a great idea!

Instead, how about we all do some cooking for Christmas day?

We thought it might be fun and if everyone contributed a dish to Christmas...and when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE!! Boys included! So to be clear, a little something from Merryl, a little something from Doug, a little something from Mitchell, a little something from Kimberley etc etc!!
It doesn't have to be anything really flash.  Nanna is going to take care of the ham and we are going to fill in the rest of the gaps...salads, desserts, nibblies etc.  Please give Nanna a ring and let her know what you're bringing so we don't end up with 17 potato salads!

Dad is already planning his dish...ok I can't lie.  I should really say Mum has already planned what Dad is going to put together the night before!

Have a bit of fun with it....maybe we should have a competition to see  who can bring the most creative dish? Then again, maybe that's dangerous!

And don't forget your old photos...were you organising that Aunty Nellie? Is the idea we bring them on disc or email them to you beforehand??

Anna xoxo
 PS - This is what I'm going to bring...

Dear Lord Jesus

The last week or so Ever has started actually contributing to our bedtime prayers.  It is so gorgeous and truly thrilling to start to see her have some understanding of what we're doing.  The first night her contribution was thanking Jesus for the christmas tree, and then a couple of nights later it was for Dora.  But this is how it has gone the last two nights in a row...
Mummy - 'Ok Ever, let's pray...dear Lord Jesus...'
Ever - 'Daddy!'
Mummy - 'ok - dear lord Jesus, we thank you for Daddy.  Anyone else Ever?'
Ever - 'tank for Mewwyl'
Mummy - ok!? thank you for Aunty Merryl...'
Ever - 'AND KIMBERWEE!'

Two nights in a row!! You two have made quite the impression! Or maybe she just senses you need the extra prayer:)
