A Storm, Guess What Santa bought? & Get Picky!

So Christmas Day is over.
Done.
Finished for another year.
Can you believe it?
There is such a lead up and then it is over so quickly.

The Shea's had a fabulous Christmas Day.
I was talking to a girlfriend a few days ago and we said we would love to celebrate a White Christmas.
Well that dream came true.....sort of.
We had a wicked storm sweep across Melbourne.  We were swimming in my Sister-in-laws pool when it hit.  We were pelted with hail stones as big as golf balls.  It was unbelievable.
I have left my camera at her house so when I pick it up, I will show you a couple of pics.

The Shea kiddies were spoilt by Santa, again.
Santa knew that the boys needed an upgrade on their bikes.  DS1 has had his for 5 years so a pretty good innings and DS2 & 3 probably about 3 years. DD has never had her own bike.
So guess what he delivered (along with the other 6 or 7 bits and pieces that we have had to build, construct and organise today)?

And moving right along.

I had to stop by so I could enter this page in the Get Picky challenge.  Yay, another challenge I have been able to find time to play along with.

This is the inspiration sketch:

And I created my page about DD.

She has always hated the sand and the beach so each year on our pilgrimage to Qld, she would be terrified of the beach and cried at the touch of the sand and the sound of the waves crashing.
Here is a pic of what she was like:

However, this year, she LOVED it. Finally at 4.3, she realised that the waves crashing was actually fun to play in and that building sandcastles with sand between your toes was lots of fun.

Hope you are having a lovely Christmas break.
Take car.
