Who needs the presents …the packaging is always more fun anyway! The aquarium is awesome! We have been hearing Owen very early in the morning playing with it…. We love the high chair! Owen gets to ‘eat at the table’ with the ‘grown ups’ now :) We think he feels much more involved…

A few pictures from Christmas Eve…. Mick, Jode and their new Baby (Jode’s snowman pinata). Auntie Jode “helping” Owen to open his first Christmas present. Hmmm tasty! This will be the only Christmas we get to open Owen’s presents!
