Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day dawned hot and sunny over here, so we cranked up the air con early. We were eating outside, but needed to keep the seafood cool, not to mention ourselves! After a posh breakfast of smoked salmon and avocado eggs benedict, we hit the presents.
In preparation for the big day, we first had to teach Debs how to peel prawns, so she could keep up. We did this the day before. She learns fast! She didn't mind them either, Yet to love them like us though. It will happen! After the pressies, some group shots. You may see this pictuire on next years cards! I was embarrassed that the only family shot for last year was taken while we were all in track suits! KISA and I enjoy a quiet moment with a Long Island Iced Tea and a Dorothy's Special before lunch. This is a little glimpse of our Australian Christmas Dinner. My Dad went crabbing and hit the jackpot this year. Son 18 declared them the best crabs of his life. Son 24 was in food heaven. They named one of the crabs Harrison. They like to name their crabs! Debs gets acquainted with the claw of a Queensland Mud Crab. She had one of the smaller ones. She had an oyster kilpatrick too. And didn't gag, did she Miss R!! After lunch was a water fight with the pool guns Santa dropped off. Around 4pm, Jdubya and son arrived to continue the party.What a handsome pair! Time flows so fast, I have known this boy since he was in nappies!

Two of my favouritest people in the whole wide world. Another one of my favouritest people in the whole wide world. KISA (a very special favourite of mine) had a play with the night settings on the camera and the tripod once the sun went down and came up with a spectacular set of pictures. Have I mentioned what a clever man he his?





I got up from the lunch table and went to bed around 11.30pm. KISA stayed on for another hour. Son 24's mate Adam rocked up about 11pm. No idea when the kids went to bed. We had a fantastic day. We hope you did too.
A very Merry Christmas to all. We hope you have a joyful relaxed day and a new year that brings Peace in your hearts.
