1st Aussie Xmas...

Happy Christmas and a Merry New year 2 you!
We have had a wonderful Christmas and a great new year. (I know it's only 1/4 past 10, but we're home after a short party at Andy & Gail's as we're all cream crackered and want to see the new year in in our pool with a glass of something nice!)

We start with our traditional Xmas eve dinner at home, where we all enjoyed a beautiful turkey crown with all the trimmings and a sparkly Xmas pud before we made reindeer food to spread on the front lawn.

We were all to bed early, so Santa could visit, as we all know he comes here first!!!
and he DID, but I managed to get a quick photo before we opened any???
We took just our stockings to the beach for a Xmas day Barbie with Charlie, Tracey, Will and Tom, where we saw another group on the beach with a blow up tree!!! Now we've seen it all!


We then had a cracking Boxing Day with Mike, Sandra, Matt, Tom and Jen, our friends from KL!
They were here for Xmas so we HAD to have a few days together to catch up and have a few bottles of something nice!?!

Temperatures started to get higher - up towards the high 30s, so a pool party and few more bottles of something nice??? with Linda, Murray, Tiannah, Carly and Georgia.

Cricket was so bad with Aus being thrashed by South Africa that we thought we'd have a little game of our own on the fron green...
Problem was, we only had a tennis ball with a racket to use as a bat! Such is life!
Yesterday was PPs birthday, so we went to Hillary's boat harbour for lunch, a dip in the sea (as it reached 39 C!!!) and it's a nice drive anyway! We came home to a warm pool and glass of something nice!
Cheers! and a Happy New Year!
