Christmas

We had a lovely Christmas day.  Up at 6.30am and finally got together to open presents at 9am with Jenny, Peter, Pauline, Kayla, Trevor, Karen, Andrew, Jason, Ian, Wendy, Holly, Darryl, Brad and I.  Finished breakfast and then at lunch time we had a scrumptious lunch which was shared with Lyn, Ken, Stuart, Meghan, Jason, Jaden and Charlotte.  We then shared presents with them and much frivolity occurred.  We were just finishing that when Barry and Raylene arrived.
This is the first time the 6 siblings have been together in over 10 years.

Ian, Lyn, Barb, Trev, Jenny and Barry

 

We spent a great couple of hours with Barry and Raylene before they had to go elsewhere.

We were then treated to a repeat of the scrumptious lunch - this time for dinner.  What a feast!!!!!

We have been up to visit Mum a couple of times and it is hard to tell whether we have any recognition or not.  I did get a response when I started tickling her toes though :)  Nasty I know but Mum did respond!!!!

Anyway - we are all going up tomorrow afternoon for her afternoon tea to celbrate her 80th so that will be good.
