Christmas Day.

A lovely Christmas Day, despite the heat.  Apparently, it was 36c!!, the hottest Christmas since 2001.

We spent quite a bit of time in the garden, after all the presents had been opened.  There was a nice breeze outside.

Isabella seemed to like all her presents, especially her scooter, and a pram with a new doll.  There was also a dolls house, and books.

Mia liked her presents too, but needed a bit of help unwrapping them.

We had a nice lazy, late lunch.  And then it was time for them all to head home.  There was a big storm coming.

The storm was quite fierce, with very strong winds, and lasted for quite some time.  At least it brought the temperature down.

(Mia's Christmas outfit was stripped off, as she was so hot, extra.)
