Christmas Day

Our Christmas this year was very quiet. The kids both got up about 8am and we sat down to open our pressies. I must say we all did very well this year and even with the strict budget and the kids not getting their "santa sacks" everyone seemed very happy. I did have to laugh at one stage - talk about the difference between the sexes. The kids and Tony all got puzzles for Christmas from Miss Jane - you know the wooden have to put it together again type brain teaser puzzles. Well I had to laugh..... the boys immediately started looking and trying to figure it out.... Tasha (being the smart girl she is) immediately pulls out the instructions and starts reading. Buddy loved the paper and had lots of fun playing with it on the lounge room floor. We got our wonderful christmas phone call from Melbourne which always puts a smile on our faces

Then it was time to madly tidy up and get last minute salads etc made in time for a very special Christmas lunch. As I mentioned before this was a quiet one - just the 4 of us, Mum & John. It was lovely to have this day with them both. Oh but in true Christmas style I think we were feeding 20 not 6!!!!! Mum tires quickly so by about 3 o'clock they headed off so Mum could go rest and we went out to Davina's to catch up with Tony's family.

Well that was a short visit! We called in just as Haylee, Erin and Royce were heading off to the beach so we turned around after 10 minutes so Tasha could go home and get changed so she could join them. Was lovely to see you guys - albeit briefly!
