Christmas Surprises!

My pictures download backwards, if you know the reason for this please let me know.  So here is a run down of our very fun Christmas Day....Backwards.....  
Robs family came over to our house for Boxing day and helped us assemble our new trampoline.  We enjoyed a big meal and had heaps of fun with our little gang of boy cousins.  We laaaaahhve this trampoline and the boys jump off the tramp and into the pool and back again.  No other gifts compare.
At lunch at Robs parents house with all the boy cousins.  Karyn gives out Christmas sample bags, these are a hit. Robbie surprises us by loving a new green dress!  Yes, I said dress!  He wore it all day and looked every bit the beautiful little girl, including necklace and headband.  The whole family enjoyed the joke and he quite liked the attention and laughs it created.  It did however, confuse poor old Uncle Davie (who has Downs Syndrome) and had no idea who Robbie was when he kissed him hello.  When we told him it was Robbie dressed up as a girl he shot back "ooooh, I'll just call him Klinger then!" That guy from *M*A*S*H* that dresses up like a girl to get out of the army. A close up of our handsome young man.  Or as Rocci puts it the She-man.  Robbie had been talking about getting a dress for months and we are so glad he was brave enough to follow his little hearts desire all the way to the In-Laws house. Rocci enjoys putting his lego together.  This one has lots of men in it, a big plus for any lego ship builder of this age. A new home excersize machine that will enhance the rest of Robs gym work.  He Loved this! And his new electric razor.  The old one he got when he was 21 yrs old finally gave up.  Now he'll look extra buff and clean shaven. Robbie gets his own mobile telephone, with all the bells and whistles, this is the best for calling your girl friend.  She was the first person he called on Christmas day, I'll bet he doesn't tell her about the dress though. Rocci's favourite thing for christmas is a dress up.  He got this one and a batman suit.  Here he shows off the gun and his mobile phone, his is muuuuch cheaper than Robbies. The boys open their stockings on Christmas morning and love their novelty gifts.  A big favourite is the automatic rotating ice cream cone, you just stick your tongue out the the cone turns around all on its own.  The stockings were full of such great things that they didn't even ask to open the big presents until 9 O'Clock.

Have to laugh love the dress Robbie. We thought about a trampoline for the boys. but decided the drums were a safer option until they were older.
