Stanley and Stanlietta were feeling the summer heat. Time was spent making them more comfortable.
Friends came for lunch.
A 35 C day! The pool looked very tempting to Stanley and Stanlietta.
Why two the same? Well they aren't. Can you spot the one difference?

We have had a facetime breakfast with Ben and Nora. Two very excited children. When they met Santa a few weeks ago he was wired to his helper who was asking Kim questions. Santa could hear the answers and spoke to Ben and Nora as if he really knew everything about them. They were in awe.
One comment was not to let Gunner [their dog] scare the reindeers.
They are now tucked up in bed, 7.30 on the dot!
One last photo from yesterday when I took a friend to the airport to join her family in Sydney. Contary to expectations it was not busy but full of joy and cheer.
Now to cook the roast and turn up the air conditioning.
This was pre-written, just waiting for the final pics.
I would love to read your comment.
How cute! I'll bet your grandchildren loved the countdown. (I liked it too!) Happy Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI’d heard about Santa being wired. Amazing! Love the countdown! The kids must have loved it!
ReplyDeleteZero sleeps! It's Christmas! A lovely post that makes the readers smile.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, dear Helen!
Thanks again! Hope it's a very merry one!
ReplyDeleteIn the photos with 4 more sleeps to go, I do see Ben's new school photo! This must have been just as much fun for you to prepare a new set up each day as it was for Ben and Nora to see them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute way to have a Christmas countdown!
