All over, red rover...

Yes, Christmas has come and gone again!
We had such a wonderful day and it all started like this....

See how two little pairs of hands are opening that present! Well, that is exactly how I planned it- all about FAMILY and SHARING. Apart from books and clothes, nearly all the girls' presents were share presents for our whole family. By family presents I mean - a family pass to Adventure World, a family voucher for a wildlife encounter at Penguin Island, movie tickets for all of us, a Wii, four different board games, Nintendo DS games, a family voucher for ice skating and of course RUSTY our gorgeous puppy who joined our family a few days before Christmas. It was great seeing the girls open the presents together. I'm so pleased and proud of them.

Don't think that they missed out on individual presents... they didn't. My parents, my brother, Adam's parents, Adam's brothers, family friends- all spoilt the girls! I was impressed with all their goodies and so were they!!

The day started with us opening our presents at our house and then mid morning we set off to Bunbury. We stopped in for an hour or so at my Mum and Dad's house before going to Adam's parents for lunch. There were lots of extended family- Nana, Aunts, Uncles, Great Aunts, Great Uncles, cousins etc- 18 of us in all. Lunch consisted of great company, great food, great wine and great presents! About 4 in the afternoon we went with Adam's brother, wife and kids back to their house for a swim- and more wine for Cherie and I!!!

At about 7pm we made our way back to my parent's house for more great company, great food, great wine and more great presents.

We ended up going to bed at about 11pm- very well fed and exhausted!


Adam's Dad takes a family photo every Christmas day- here we are- all very happy chappies!!!
Boxing Day was a scorcher- Adam and his brother Simon went fishing in Simon's boat most of the day so the girls and I slothed at Mum's (in the air conditioning!!!!). We left Bunbury about 6.30pm to drive home when it had cooled down a little.

Today Adam had to work however before he left he set up the Wii. Well, we all laughed ourselves silly as we created our Mii people!! So much fun! The girls have been playing Wii most of the day. Adam's parents dropped in for lunch and when Grandad had a go- we all roared with laughter again!! It is such a fantastic game. The girls received High School Musical for the Wii and they have had fun with that but the one I like is Wii Sports!! Fabulous!!!

I hope everyone else had an excellent Christmas and remembered to enjoy themselves!!!
Stay safe,
