The annual visit with Santa . . . .

School had their annual Boy's night out last night and Simon took Liam and Kaiden because Jared, Liam's Dad was working. They had a blast. Kaiden & Liam had a sleep over so you could imagine they didn't get too much sleep.

Today I took Kaiden and Liam to see Santa. Little did I know it would be an all afternoon event . . . . still it was worth it.

How handsome are these two!!

. . . . . Arhhh 2 & 1/2 hours we waited in line. Can you believe it. Luckily for me the boys had each other to keep themselves amused & they both had their little Lego cars to play with so they were really brilliant all things considered. I tell you what by the time we got to the front of the line I wasn't feel too much in the Christmas Spirit, more like Can we just get this over with please. Still the boys had a great visit and Kaiden was thrilled that Liam could come with us.

I bet Kaiden got just what he asked for from the Big Guy! xo; Saturday, December 27, 2008

This is one of my favourite pictures . . . .

Kaiden loves his buddy Lica. Paul Licuria has been so nice to Kaiden that he really believes they are buddies. Lica has writen him a letter and recognises him when he's come up to say hello at training and functions. He even remembered Kaiden's bithday and asked him about it while at a Collingwood training session. For someone of his profile to give so much attention and time to a little kind and really make him feel like they are mates, is brilliant. It shows what type of man he really is. And for a mother there is nothing better than having your child feel like he really is something special.
Kaiden was devistated when I told him that Lica was retiring and wouldn't be playing for the Magpies anymore. If you think I am exaggerating, think again. He literally burst into tears and said "Why Mummy, why? He still plays really really really good" He only calmed down when I explained and said that he would still be around the club and he could see him at the VFL games. I had to promise that we would go to one of the VFL agames next time we are in Melbourne. I love that he is passionate about the Magpies. He has black and white in his blood. That makes me smile.
