Bed time!

Dani wanted to sleep with Jared last night but he wouldn't let her cause she was being a pain. She waited for him to go to sleep and snuck in with him anyway!

Carols in the park

Sunday night we went to a carols night out Castle Hill way with Simon and Tamara and some other kiwi friends of theirs. There were sideshows, a train, singing and dancing performances by local kids, a visit from Santa and a fireworks finale., It was a lovely evening

David Jones Christmas

On Saturday we headed into the City with Simon (an Action coach), Tamara and their kids Sophie and Zac. We were on a Christmas mission to check out the Christmas displays.

David Jones, a department store, had Displays with puppets singing and playing music in different scenes/carols in all their windows. The kids all loved them and they were so well done.
Inside they had Santa's cave with a talking tree (that actually heard you and answered your questions), a carousel, weird mirrors, lucky dips, a movie den with Cars playing, and, of course, Santa. We never actually saw Santa cause the lines were too long =(

We were then going to have fish'n'chips at Darling Harbour but it got too windy so we all came back to our place instead.

This train was in Santaland at Myer (another department store). It pretty much just had the train and Santa but the kids loved it. Dani and Sophie were a bit unsure but wanted to go again as soon as the ride was over
