Grandpa Bart and Grandma Kiki came up for Christmas week. There were many days of unwrapping presents and lots of fun playing with grandparents and lots new toys. In addition Simon discovered bubble wrap (he was delighted by jumping on it) and Dad and Kiki read more children's books than they thought possible.
It was a cold week and while we toughed it out one day at the park (see sliding picture below!) it was a pretty indoor week. Grandma Kiki came up with the best Christmas activity which will certainly become a family tradition: Going to the train exhibit at the botanic gardens. The trains were a hit with everyone, especially a certain 18 month old who loves trains. Simon spent over an hour just staring around the room in awe. He'd get excited and point as they went by. There are some really beautiful pictures from the train expo, they are all the way at the bottom after the jump so you'll need to look through lots of great pictures to get to them.
