letters to my roo

You have just had your first Christmas.

In our family we do two Christmases: Christmas Eve with Nanny and Poppy and the rest of your mummy’s family, and then we go to Brisbane for Christmas Day with your Nonna and Nonno and the rest of your daddy’s family.

Last night, we went to Nanny’s house. You had so much fun with the paper and the presents, and you knew your two cousins were racing around and there was a party so as much as I tried, you didn’t sleep. You wanted to be where the action was. And can I blame you? You had the best time and I loved watching you get excited about Christmas.

Today, we drove to Brisbane. And I am so so proud of you for handling that 5 hour round trip like an absolute pro! You had a couple of big naps with your new Riff Raff, you arrived all happy at your Nonna’s, and you met so many new faces and had a ball. It was stinking hot so you were crabby by the end, but once you got in the car and settled in, you were happy as Larry.

You, my baby boy, are the best gift I could have gotten this year. Thank you for all the joy and the light you bring to our lives. I can’t imagine life without you. Thank you for choosing me to be your mama.

Merry Christmas, my Roo, and I can’t wait to see what the year ahead brings.
