We met Santa

The Dawson family had some meetings with Santa today. In the morning Santa rang and had a conversation with the boys. Xander was very excited and asked Santa if he could have a bike for Christmas. Marshall wasnt quite sure but ran around the house "santa cors"

Then in the afternoon we all visited Santa in his grotto and had a photo taken!!

A Little Conversation

Yesterday morning, just after Richard left for work, the boys got themselves up and started playing in the rumpus. After about 10 minutes of playing i heard the following conversation.

Xander: "What do you want for breakfast?"
Marshall: "Porige!"
Xander: "Nah, I can't reach it"
Marshall: "Mummy do it?"
Xander: "Ok, let's get Mummy up"

Gotta love the way Xander tries to look after his little brother!

Bushfires

HOT. its been a ridiculously hot weekend (42c 108f at the max) and we have been house bound to escape it a bit. We had Mark and Tim, Michelle and Mark and Dee over for Christmas Dinner on Saturday. It was a great night and we topped it off with a game of Texas Hold em. There have been bad bushfires around us all weekend with a blanket of smoke covering the whole of Melbourne.

Tri Family BBQ

On Sunday we had a BBQ at Franger with Brooke and Adam, Milney and Amanda the the kids at Wilson Botanic Park. The weather was lovely and we had a great spread of tucker. Of course with England batting so well we had a game of cricket. Xander got the hang of it and hit a couple of cracking shots.

As previously mentioned on Sunday we had a look around the new Cranbourne Police Station and was given a guided tour. The boys are fascinated by Gaol so they were flabbagasted when told that the bad poeple had to sleep on the hard bed with no pillow. This is a photo taken by a member walking around with the station camera.
