CHRISTMAS 2007
Another year has rolled by and Christmas arrived in the Grobler home. The kids were up really early and we had to convince them to wait just a little while before storming downstairs to see what Santa had left them. This was mainly to the benefit of Wanda and myself as we had been up late the night before and were pretty exhausted.
Eventually nothing could keep them upstairs and we all stormed downstairs to see what had been "delivered".
Boy, were the kids excited. Waldo had asked for a camera, to join dad in the role of family paparazzi and Kayla wanted a watch and a "lifelike" sleeping pet. These pets look just like real stuffed animals and we decided that we were not going to start making horror movies in our house, as I could just imagine this stuffed creature running around the house at night. We decided to get her a little toy cat that is pretty lifelike. Even for a gadget junkie like myself this cat is too much. It reacts to sound as well as to touch. stroke its chest or its back and it will purr and meow, but pull its tail and you will get a hiss. When left alone it lies down and goes to sleep....

Wanda got some crafting goodies , pajamas, slippers and nice chocolates and dad got a tripod for the new camera, along with a nice scarf and Monopoly, again the Gadget version as there is no paper money but it works with credit cards.
We spent the rest of the day enjoying lunch and just relaxing at home. All in all a very Merry Christmas.
