Christmas Day 2007

Christmas Eve was spent quietly as usual watching Carols By Candlelight on TV.

Christmas Day is nice and sunny if a little cool. A few wispy clouds but at least it isn't raining.

This is a special day for the kids. Charli is starting to understand a little about it and has grasped the concept of "Presents" fairly rapidly. Needless to say they were both spoilt with heaps of gifts from us as well as Kate and Arj. In "Rogue's Gallery" to the right is a quick movie clip taken this morning.

James thought the bag his presents came in was the best gift, he spent much of the morning trying to eat it.


Charli received her first trike from us but is having a few problems getting it mobile. She also received books, puzzles, games and toys. She had to tip her gifts bag over and crawl in to get her gifts! She handled this pretty well. Mum and Dad were left to unpack the toys. The Fisher Price toys come very well packaged indeed!

Trish received a 'Drink Package' and I got a "Breathalyzer Reader" which I hope to give a bit of use to over the next few days.

As I said earlier, today is a day for families!



We will have a quiet lunch at home here and then early this evening we set off for Arj's family's Christmas Night. It is gift giving, carol singing (which the teenage kids hate!) and eating wonderful Sri Lankan curries.

Tomorrow it is a 60k drive to Drouin for a BBQ with the people went on the Whitsundays Trip. Then I hope to get to a few days of Australia Vs India Test Cricket Match at the MCG before we fly back home again on New Year's day!

Merry Christmas to everyone from Trish and Les!
