Christmas in November

Since we were going to Beijing for Christmas and everyone was in Dubai, we decided to celebrate Christmas in November - there is no harm in having a few turkey dinners.


Looks like Santa came.

Stocking time.

Uncle Rob & Auntie Lisa got the boys this super cute Frostie outfits.

The Tisdalls.

Breakfast break - Yum!

Dad being a goof.

Leave room for the turkey.

Noah loves books.

Mentos & coke...fun times ahead.

Hint! Hint!

No one will be sleeping tonight.

Black leather chucks! Uncle Rob is a lucky guy.

Everyone was thoroughly spoilt!

I don't believe it is Christmas.

Here comes Noah-zilla.

Come on Benton, help me knock it down.

Fine...I will do it on my own.

Yum - The turkey works.

Some traditions can't be forgotten....

...like the Christmas cracker hats.

Dig in.

We don't take things too seriously.

All night long...go Rob!
