What a great day! It was filled with lots of laughter and good times. The day started out with Mummy receiving some great presents and some wonderful homemade cards. I felt so special and loved to have received such precious birthday cards. Once the present opening was over, we all headed into the city by train for what has become our traditional Christmas Eve outing. It all starts off with a train ride into the city to look at the Myer windows, visit Santa and explore Santa land in the Myer Centre. The Myer windows theme this year was from the book series Olivia. The kids favourite window was the one where Olivia's brother threw up his blueberry pie! Once we looked at the windows we headed upstairs to Santa land. This year Matty was too tall to ride the Christmas Express train so instead he was designated photographer because this was the first year Lucy went on the train. Once the kids had their train ride they lined up for the free face painting, so while they were waiting they were able to do some colouring in and also write Santa a letter. Matty chose to write Santa a letter and all it said was "To Santa, I hope you have a Merry Christmas. love Matthew." Some parents were amazed that he did not write a list of toys that he wanted. After we finished at Santa land it was time for some lunch before we got back on the train. Once we arrived home it was then time to get ready for the early Christmas Eve service at church which is followed by the birthday dinner and homemade ice-cream birthday cake made by Noonie and all finished off with one last visit to see Christmas lights. Then once we are all back at home it is time to put out the Santa sacks and get the snacks ready for Santa and his reindeers. It was such a huge day and a day we will definitely do again next year.
