The bears' adventures down under: Our first true Aussie Christmas

So as you may have worked out from the last blog. Christmas starts early here in Australia with the Christmas Pageants. In Adelaide this is normal the first weekend of November. As you know after 6 Christmas in Australia I finally went to see this year's pageant with Georgia and Jason's eldest two children.

The beginning of December started with the arrival of Felicity's new christmas top from Gran and Gramps and the annual Christmas photo shoot with daddy. Here are just a few.

Come on I'm ready.

And after the shoot all good models need a good breakfast, so we headed to one of our favourite Adelaide Hill's cafe.

During the second weekend of December we made a Christmas Tree our weekend project.

First we had to go and pick our tree

Then we had to check it was just right

Then Daddy cut it down

Once we got it home we had to decorate the tree. What fun we had.
Follow me and I'll show you.

Mummy showed me how you first put the lights on

Then the tinsel.

This is going in my room

After completing the decorations I examined the tree for a long time and decided that there was something missing.

So on Sunday morning Mummy and I made some salt dough decorations to go on the tree. Mummy tired to get me to do different ones but I was happy with just stars.

The rest of December was spent catching up with friends at BBQs. And all occasions I introduced some of my friends to Pilates Granny.

On Christmas Eve Mummy took Daddy, Judy (Mummy's Friend) and I to the Crib Service at the Cathedral, where I got to dress up as an angle. Daddy then took us all to the pub for a pint before home for christmas tea.

And once I'd placed my special white Bear on my chair to keep an eye out for Father Christmas I went to bed.

When I woke up the next day look what I found under the christmas tree for me.
A big bear and my own bike.

After we'd opened presents we had breakfast and I had to wait to open my presents from the UK, so I turned them into building blocks, a slide for my Big Bear and a seat for me.

And after spending the afternoon with my friend Daisy we came home to water the garden with my new toy from Georgia and Jason.

On Boxing day we head to Georgia and Jason's for a bike ride to the park.

The following day Mummy and Daddy took me on the bikes to Belair National Park and then on Bank Holiday Monday we went to a beach where Daddy could do some four wheel driving and I could practice riding my bike.
