Aussie Christmas in pictures


I am not going to bore everyone with a long written post. I will let the pictures do the talking. We had a wonderful (but hot and humid) Christmas. You know it's a good Christmas when your still eating leftovers on the 29th! And nothing like some Christmas baking to get you in the mood for the holiday season! Even with the 30+ temperature and the 80% humidity, Breagha and Stace managed to make some yummy Xmas treats.

------- CHRISTMAS EVE -------

We were invited to spend Christmas Eve at Rej and Clo's. It was nice to be in the company of good friends and have some wonderful food! Thanks guys!





Maybe by the time Shamus or Breagha is Gunka's age the Leafs might win another Stanley Cup. Here's hoping! Thanks Grammy Rosie!




------- CHRISTMAS DAY -------

Santa managed to make it down the gum tree and in through the window in his singlet, shorts and thongs to make sure Shamus and Breagha had something under the tree... (because there was a real shortage of presents there in the first place... insert sarcasm here!)




It just isn't Christmas without Jimmy Stewart. ... Ooooh Maaarry!!




Thanks Cari for all the Canada swag, although I still don't know where the authentic Canadian snowballs I requested are.



It wouldn't be Christmas in Oz without some new thongs (no you dirty pervs I'm talking about flip flops.... sheeesh!)

We also hosted a little Christmas BBQ at ours on Christmas Day. It was really nice to have all the commotion in the house. I mentioned to Stace, as we were preparing the meal, that it really felt like the holidays because the house was noisy and energetic. Just what I expect from Christmas Day. Thanks everyone for coming over and celebrating with us.





MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
