Christmas with family

Christmas with family is something that we look forward to the most. It's our highlight of the year, something for which we all wait eagerly. After having the festive celebration with friends we headed Brisbane for our Christmas break to live the most precious moments and make lots of memories. 



Looks like each one of us had been good this year... Santa was soo kind!! 




As we were to leave for our family holiday on the Christmas day Mimi and Jaiku made such special  for a great evening tea while we all packed. Mimi and Jaiku are so much fun to be around ...Like always!! 


The girls were super excited... 



Mahi posing with  her fave person in the world....her sweet atta... 


It's just so awesome when we have the parents around during festive season. It just doubles the joy and makes it so fulfilling. Have the cutest set of four parents and just simply admire their spirit. 







Santa sent two helpers this time the little one opened everyone's presents and the big one helped handing over. A great team of two!! 



Someone was too happy to get something she had always ..... like always stopped over for in the shopping mall whenever we crossed the toys section. The Talking TOM!! 

She is still trying to believe if its for real.. 


And then the BIG Elsa .. her fave character... 



Helping Awwa and Nanya opening their presents... 



Job well done you two... and now time for you two to enjoy all your presents... 





Had a great Christmas eve with all our loved ones around and were super excited for our family vacation that was to start the very next day...

CHRISTMAS DINNER SYDNEY!!

We had the Christmas dinner five days prior to Christmas eve at our home in Sydney this time. The reason being that we were heading to Brisbane for the holidays. Presently all our close friends have kids very close to mahi's age and I could not have missed a reason of getting them all together to have a little celebration. If these kids bond well while they grow they would definitely cherish these moments as they look back. 

Our tree was up on the 7th of December and we had planned of  a different theme this time. I had come across this " Enchanted Forest" theme in one of the magazines I was flipping through while I waited at the doctors once and since then the colors swirled in my mind and just had to do it this time. Our little helper loved putting up the decorations and was all over the place.

Look what a year does!! 


Having mum and  dad around this time added the fun triple folds. Mahi bonds so well with them and so happy to be around them. One more of her fave people, her Gagan uncle also came to help us with the tree and she just couldn't hide her excitement.

                     

It took us next two days to get the tree done how I wanted it and the last of all things was getting Mahi's personal bauble for this year to go up on the tree,.



And we were all set to have our friends over 






Look how adorable is the way they greet!! 



Gagan got dumplings for the evening and they were delicious. We missed his Ekta a lot for she is always a part of all our celebrations. 





















My Santa :) 



Had a lovely evening with friends and family and all packed up to leave for our next Christmas stop!!
