Wed 24th Dec, 2025 Geck Family beach house, Woodgate, Qld

Bryon left for the long drive back to Orange as he has to work. David, Amanda & Bradley headed to Bundaberg for Christmas with her parents and family.

Jenny had given us jocks from her grandson so Beau and Arthur are using them as they are in the water all the time and are starting to learn ‘toilet’ training. Has been some interesting moments.

The adults went down the beach for a swim so I was on Granny duty. Cooper was asleep but after his Mummy left he gave me a big present in his nappy. Beau was a good boy.

Sophia is a bit clingy but we are having fun with her too as long as she can see Mum or Dad. Arthur is the same.

A big storm hit - lots of rain so the water tank is overflowing making a little lake down the side of the house. Jon took Beau for a boogie board on it.

Santa came in the Rural Fire Truck so Arthur and Beau went to meet him. Sophia was asleep but we got some lollies for her too.

All the initials are on the tree now.

I sent photos of Beau and Sophia holding their Santa placemats to Margaret as she made them.

My menu planning has been working well. Make your own pizzas tonight.

Early to bed for everyone as the kids will be up bright and early tomorrow. I sent off my Christmas messages to our other family members and friends wishing them all the best.
