december 23rd - celebrations officially begin

Gramps and Grandmum are in town for a pre-Christmas celebration...and some time in Alex and Gemma's newly constructed fort in the living room. We have been reading lots of Christmas books this week and Gemma made her grandparents read through the list. 

Gemma got a new mailbox with her very own key, Alex got a remote control batman transformer that refuses to be quiet, and they both got some animals donated in their names to provide food for "the people"....alex got a quarter of a goat...hopefully the good end. Gramps and Grandmum also got us some trees for our yard when the spring rolls around. Although, we will be making them come back to dig some holes!

Mommy and Daddy's new closet install was also finished today. Like a Christmas miracle. We celebrated the affair with too much food and tooooooo much wine, followed by Mommy's amazing cookies.
