Our Christmas celebrating began on the weekend before Christmas when Mom, Dad, Kaden, and I went down to Southbank by the Brisbane River for a traditional Aussie sausage feed and to watch the Christmas fireworks. I got to ride a ferris wheel with mom for the very first time! We even timed our ride right and were able to watch the fireworks over the Brisbane river as we were sitting at the very top of the ferris wheel. It was a great time!
On Christmas Eve we rode the train out to the airport to pick up Grandma and Grandpa Dammast. I even saw Santa as he greeted all of the kids at the airport! On Christmas Day I was able to open all of my own gifts and Kaden's too since he's too little to open them on his own . . . so it was double the fun for me! (Mom had to hide all the presents before Christmas otherwise I would open every single one of them the minute I found them!) Grandma and Grandpa's suticases didn't make it to Brisbane until the day after Christmas (and one didn't make it here until 6 days after they got here.) So, Christmas continued for me for several days as they gave us the many gifts that were packed in their suitcases.
Hope you had a great Christmas in America!!
The rest of this week we took Grandma and Grandpa around Brisbane to see the sights. We went to Mt. Tamborine to see the rainforest, drove to the Sunshine Coast to the Mary Cairncross Rainforest and to see the Glass House Mtns., went to Lone Pine Zoo, and went to the Australian Outback Spectacular dinner show (or "cowboy show" as I would call it.) I loved the cowboy show and even got to wear my own cowboy hat and dance to cowboy music!
