We had a wonderful Christmas & Boxing Day with family and friends. Our star "Joel" enjoying his first Christmas and taking it all in. He was not in sleep mode as he did not want to miss any of the celebrations and was most impressed to have so many people around and so much going on.
On Christmas Day we had fourteen adults and two littlies for lunch - Joel (7 months) and Eloise ( 2 1/2 years). Eloise is Graham & Anne's granddaughter (Nick & Carla) & she was a delight. We had far too much food as usual with Mum's Roast & vegies followed by pavlova & steam pudding - not to mention the nibbles & chocolates. Later that afternoon Len & Helen called in so we celebrated with them into the night.
Boxing day we spent with Rod's in-laws Ron & Rae Jay at their home with family & friends. It was a lovely relaxed day with even more gifts to exchange. Joel was in his element & once again resisted sleep mode as there was so much going on.
We have not had too much time to appreciate the new lounge but have voted it "a beauty" as it is just soooooo comfortable. I did very well with gifts which included among other things - a new Panasonic Lumix Camera which I am still learning to use. My old camera was on it's last legs as I have taken 100's of thousands of photos over the last six or so years that I have had it. This new camera is very easy & it is fantastic what it can do. I also got a new 500GB external hard disk drive to save my photos on & a jigsaw puzzle mat for my jigsaw work. I have a lot of new toys to play with. Happy days!
Over the last 24 hours we have had some nice steady rain to give the gardens a good soaking so that will take some of the stress out of the plants.
