Christmas 2010

Was Epic ... and WET. All Brothers and their wives and family's descended on my MIL's house for 5 days . Of course the food was amazing. Here Lulu is watching and helping Aunty D make spring rolls and wontons . Aunty D was shadowed by Lulu the entire time she was in QLD. Lulu never let her out of her sight... if she ever becomes Prime Minister Aunty D will have no problem with the spooks following her :-)








Christmas Morning


If you were really lucky your Aunty Krys and Uncle Joel spent way more than your (cheap) mother ever would on quality trendy brand name clothes for you.


Mum and her kitchen elf.




Have I told you that it rained for 4 of the 5 days we were at Mum & Brian's? I think I may have mentioned that. Well this activity was a winner in both the wet and dry conditions. Alas Poppys lawn may never be the same.

Boxing Day we went to Cath and Andrew's and had lunch with my Dad and Jan and Jan's son Greg.

Aunty Nutty Cath & Andrew


We look like a Christmas Tree decoration in these colours.


This is the face you make when your Aunty Cath gets you the gift you looong for... (long socks).


Cath is such a good egg, she ordered special socks over the Internet for Lulu but they didn't arrive - so she made a special trip to get more . She now has an abundance of socks as the Internet package turned up on the 27TH.





No one can stop eating the delicious spread long enough to look up and smile.

So that was the abridged version of our Christmas and Boxing Day. Stay tuned for the New Year 2011 post, which features us moving the family circus to a beach resort with a different set of parents ;-)

It's so funny to see everyone in shorts, t-shirts and dresses for Christmas and we are always in jackets, snow and freezing temps.

Glad you had a good Christmas!
