It was the time of the year again that we love... Our tree was up in the first week of Dec and lill helper helped dad put the star and mommy with putting all decorations...

Mahi's bauble for this years Christmas was up!

I try doing a personalized ornament to go on the tree for Mahi every year ,and now it's more fun doing it because she enjoys it and appreciates it more... we have made a separate box to store all these special ones.. 

The day after Christmas we went out for a barbecue. The weather awesome and we didn't have to go too far off..  

It was a fun day and only got better once we went into the water... and made some new friends... 

Had a lovely Holiday season just chilling at home with our loved ones around.... eating yummy food, watching movies and playing games ;) 

We welcomed our adopted Elf "Troody" this year and he came into our lives on the afternoon of  Dec 3rd 2016. He was so happy to be finally sun bathing in the Australian summer in the Christmas season rather than freezing in the North Pole. Mahi saw our little guest and ran to get him home.  

It was such a happy moment for my little girl to finally have her very own little ELF and he came with such a cute introduction letter( which mommy had to read to Mahi at least ten times).

Mahi checking Troody's backpack and found a special candy cane for her from the North Pole. 

And Troody's night dress which miss caretaker decided to make him wear in the middle of the day and for all legit reasons. She goes " Mama Troody needs a nap because he is tired to come fro North Pole" 

Troody and Mahi enjoying their chocolate milk! 

The last day , The night before Christmas! Troody left us with a letter to let Mahi know what an incredible child she is and how Santa is getting her all that he had listed".
