Santa Comes to Malua Bay

Even though we weren't at home, Santa and his reindeers did manage to find us at 4 Nerang Place, Malua Bay! As per tradition, we used a piece of the local flora for our christmas tree.

As Christmas morning dawned, the cousins found their santa sacks on the end of their beds. Ella was up quickly (6am) and quietly (hence there are no photos of her) discovered the contents of her santa sack - a rope ladder (just as she had asked Santa for), craft, books, dress...off she went to show the rest of the gang. Usually the first to wake, Katy slept in until 6.30am and then had to be helped to look through her sack which contained a princess castle tent, jigsaw, sticker books, dress....

Next on the agenda was a quick jog for most of the adults concluding with a dip in the ocean. Nice! On returning home it was decided to take the children down to the little beach prior to main present opening session which also allowed lunch preparations to begin.

The little beach was located on the southside of the headland which out house was positioned. Katy warmed up to this beach with the small waves. Soon she was swimming and jumping around in the water.

Then down to some serious business...opening presents! The cousins had all been so patient!!

Once all the excitement had worn off, it was time to sit down and enjoy xmas lunch - roast lamb, duck, chicken with an assortment of vegies. It was just a pity that the sea breeze had come in cooling off our roast lunch a little too quickly.
