Christmas party & pressies and being adored by all

The great thing about Christmas is family, friends and feasting. Max & Lily have got into the spirit of things by spending time with our God daughters ( our best friends, their parents) and their boyfriends.

I would recommend everyone get their own version, it's fantastic - you arrive to discover an entourage waiting for the babies. John and i get a kiss and a hug and then without asking, babies, prams, toys, nappy bags disappear from the car and us, only to be seen again when tears or dirty nappies emerge.

In the Garden

My poor friend Kathy has to wait her turn, which is often at the end of the night when everyone goes their own way. Max and Lily in true party kid fashion, rather than go to sleep, make do with cat naps, so they are ready to party at the slightest hint of attention.

Max and Lily's highlights: sucking on a big piece of bread with their mates, sitting at the table with the big kids and eating the wrapping of their presents. Although my babies can both crawl, their feet barely touched the ground as they spend the night being kissed, cuddled and adored by all

Updates from us:

• Both babies are crawling
• Max is starting to pull himself up
• Lily had her fringe trimmed
• Max has curly hair
• Max has two bottom teeth! Hooray
