Almost A White Christmas

Melbourne weather has meant top temps continue in the mid to high teens. A bit cool for us I am afraid. Some areas which had been hit by bushfires a day or so ago were now covered in a light covering of snow!

Christmas Day is always a big day and has become quite different to what we used to do many years ago.

Charli spent her first real Christmas looking google eyed at all her presents. Who says kids are spoiled nowadays?

Late morning we drove to our daughter's place in St Kilda (Kim) where we were joined by Chris and family for a Christmas lunch and more presents for all the kids (and oldies too). Prawns, hams, oysters and drinks. A great day was had by all. Emily really enjoyed her presents as you can see!





Chris borrowed a screw driver and spent some of the afternoon assembling presents to be enjoyed by all. This gift was quite a hit.




Later in the afternoon it was back to Kate's to prepare for Arj's side of the family with a family gathering at Kate's. Again more drinks, prezzies and some sensational Sri Lankan curries.

We all got to bed a little bit too late.


Boxing day saw us head down to Drouin and after a quick visit to Russell's to see the new caravan and have a cuppa we continued on to friends from our Hampton Park days. Too much to eat and drink again but that is Christmas. Great to catch up with friends.

Today is a quiet day as Trish and I move to stay with Kim for a couple of nights. Hopefully I will have recovered enough to get to the 4th Test at the MCG tomorrow.
