New Years day we organised a more of let spontaneous BBQ (well..it was organised day before) at one of our local parks with family and a couple of friends.
I think my dad was still a bit hung over from the day before, but we still managed to get him to do some of the BBQ'ing. They went to the city night before to see the big midnight fireworks while Aiden and myself went to Coogee to see the 9pm fireworks there with family (Kim stayed at home with Lucas).
...while Kims Dad was looking after Lucas.

One afternoon we made the trip to Centennial park to go duck feedking with Aiden, but also to show our visitors one of the great parks of Sydney.
Aiden was very excited playing with my dad and running up and down the hills and checking out the big trees.

So far my Dad and Aiden are bonding very well.
The first thing AIden asks for when he wakes up in the morning is 'Play Bedstefar' (play grandad) and wants to go and knock on his door to play with him.
My dad has been very patient with letting him jump while holding his hands, so now he wants to do it all the time.
He especially enjoys the two handed jump...
...so now he also wants it when we are walking him.
The jumping has come in handy as I have used it to trick Aiden to get in the water at Maroubra a few times.
My dad also reads him his story before he goes to bed at night...we will se over the next month whether we also can get him to change nappies, brush his teeth, feed him, dress him etc.

My Dad wanted to see the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race again this year.
Unlike the last time we were there in good time this year and found a great parking spot and a fairly good vantage point of the race without too many crowds.
While waiting for the race to start the James Craig was cruising back and forth outside the harbour.
Once the race started and the boats passed the heads it became very busy both on the water and it in air with all the boats and helicopters (at one point I counted 11 at the same time) and my Dad was busy clicking away.
This year turned out to be a new course record, so great conditions all the way to Hobart.

Christmas Day we celebrated with Kims family at her sisters house.
It was the usual crowd of our familys and everyone bringing dishes to share and as usual there was a lot of different foods to try.
It was great to have the whole family together (Aiden was again eating too much).
And even Santa made an appearance again this year...Thank you so much Santa!!!!!

This year we celebrated Christmas at home with my Dad and his partner with the traditional Christmas Duck and Ris-a-la-mande.
It was Lucas' first and Aiden's third Christmas...Aiden is now getting old enough to enjoy the experience...
...especially the food
After dinner we opened presents according to the Danish tradition and Aiden was very excited about the big box from Bedstefar...
...containing a big truck.
From Mummy and Daddy he received a Lightning Mcqueen car (radio controlled).
...and also a drawing pad.
Merry Christmas...
