Yesterday, we were all set to go and out meet Auntie Vanessa and her son Finn for a late afternoon tea to celebrate my upcoming birthday and Christmas. However, little man was asleep and I wasn't too keen on waking him. Normally I wouldn't mind, but he was a little out of the ordinary yesterday.
So after some coffee, tea and Christmas cake, we gave our gifts to each other. Warren, Alex and I gave Vanessa a Donna Hay cook book and a shopping basket (she had been saying she wanted a shopping pull along buggy for when she goes to the markets on Saturday morning). We gave Finn (4 years old) a super soaker water gun - not something I would normally give to a child, I normally go the educational toys but Warren decided that Finn would LOVE the super soaker, and he did!
Vanessa then presented Alex with his very groovy Christmas gift, which was a fabulous drill and work bench, just what all little boys need - and even better it makes noise!!
I was also very spoilt with a DJ's gift card for my birthday and a Borders books gift card for Christmas. I seriously am over the moon because I can purchase the perfume I have been eyeing off these past few weeks and a great novel for my upcoming trip!
But, gifts aside, the best part of the afternoon was having a wonderful chat with my bestie and watching our little boys play together. I dearly love Vanessa like a sister. We of course have our moments but I know she is always there for me and I am for her. She is a fabulous Auntie /God Mother to Alexander.
