First up was a trip to church early in the morning - well, it was early for us as we were still on Queensland time. Then it was back to the house for present unwrapping before lunch. Dee decided that it would be better to unwrap presents then because Darcy (4 months old) would need to be put to bed for a sleep.
Bailey (2 & 4 months) got to unwrap his presents first. First up was Uncle Livio's gift - rather larger than the rest, it needed to be unwrapped first to enable it to be moved out of the way of the rest of the gifts.
It turned out to be a rocking horse which was duly inspected to ensure it had both ears and eyes before being ridden.
Bailey was so enamoured of it that I wondered if he would bother opening the other items he'd been given.
In due course he did open his other gifts, including a couple of books from aunts (his and ours) and the item I'd bought - a stuffed toy Superb Fairy Wren that twitters when you push a spot on its back. Apparently this was one of the best things I could have got because Bailey is currently into birds. Let's just say that the wren got as many rides on the rocking horse as Bailey did after that as he carried it everywhere with him.
Among other things, Darcy got a lovely quilted rug from Alicia and a stuffed toy possum from us. The ears, feet and tail were taste tested.
After the great unwrapping, it was time for a delicious lunch, which had been prepared by Dee's husband, Dennis, and family.
We'll be travelling back to Brisbane tomorrow, so it's time to do some packing.
