Christmas day

Our first Christmas away from our usual traditional one at home. We started by cooking eggs and fried ham with toast and had the bigger feast of ham, pork, oysters and lobster later. We even popped down to the beach to fly the kids new kites from Santa and have a little play with the communal toys. We ended our night with roasting marshmallows by the fire.

It definitely felt different not having all the big family around this year and I missed them all but I loved some of the simple moments. The kids opening their presents in the van felt magical and then being able to go to the beach and play and finish with a fire. It was pretty special. - Lauren

It was a stress free enjoyable Christmas. It was good to see the kids just playing and having fun. - Luke

I liked playing with my new friend and my firefighter hot wheels. - Henry

My favourite thing was getting Stitch and getting special money from the tooth fairy. I loved joining together with my friends and family. The chocolate house was so yummy! - AdelaideRead more
