I got the River part right I think it's a great name Anna! And most importantly, you and Ryan love it.

meg - woohoo on green grass! How was swimming? Nina's swimming lessons finished last week.

caddie - what a great surprise for your parents!

How are all the kids reacting to Christmas coming, do they sort of understand what's going on?
Nina is very excited, she keeps saying 'santa coming soon. Santa in sky, bring presents for Nina and Emily, sooooon'
So far she's been really good with the presents under the tree. She hasn't opened any of them. She knows who's is who's, and I reckon it'll be her giving them out on Christmas Day!
