Rochelle and Hayden were lucky enough to be given a basketball ring from their Gran, for Christmas.

Supposedly for the kids, it brought out the competitive nature in all the oldies, who tried to outdo each other in slam-dunking or defending the ring.

The kids watched open-mouthed as their Uncle Nick and Papa tried to get past each other to the hoop, with all sorts of illegal hip bumping and defending actions.

We had to foul them both of in the end! Out of everyone who vying for glory, I think the kids outdid us all — they seem to be a bit more flexible!

Aunty Ellie played a bit more sedately with kids, and here, Hayden has just shot a basket.
