Christmas in Horsham

We drove up to Horsham on Christmas Eve with the girls doing very well on the four plus hour trip.  T'was the night before Christmas and the milk, cookies and carrot were out for Santa and Rudolph and they must have really appreciated them .... 

On Christmas morning the girls were very excited to wake up at Grandmas to find that Santa had remembered that they were in Horsham and had delivered their presents there.  Eloise was deliriously happy to see that the largest present belonged to her ! 

However, this then triggered a flood of tears in Abbey as her present from Santa was not as big !

Size does matter !  "Mine is not as big as yours"

But the tears soon dried up when they opened their presents and found what Santa had given them ....

"Abbey, you got a balance bike from Santa!"

The girls must have been good this year as Santa also brought them a bike helmet, some clothes, jewellery, books, toys as well as a bike each. 

 

Christmas lunch was at Paul and Denese's where there were more presents to distribute and open.  This year, Brett finally succumbed to Grandma's pressure and was made to dress as Santa and the girls were Santa's little helpers.

And then finally it was time for lunch which was the traditional roast turkey, roast pork, ham, potatoes and veges, followed by Christmas pudding, sago pudding and chocolate pudding with lashings of cream and custard.

And to work off that lunch we all took a walk and the girls got on the horses. 

"What are you looking at horsey?"
