Boxing Day

We spent today with our good friends, swimming ,eating, playing table tennis, more eating, chatting and relaxing! Such good fun!

Happy Christmas 2014

The day started early. 5am to be precise. But it's well and truly daylight then (4:40am) The Cat was up. The day began. The girls' opened their stockings (Father Christmas did well) and looked through their hauls for awhile while I let the chickens out, cut up the guinea pig food, and fed and watered all the animals. And had a cuppa. We then opened the gifts under the tree to each other. I got some lovely gifts. The girls had put alot of thought into it, and remembered what I had suggested over the last couple of months. We headed off to Amie's late morning for lunch and to relax. We all had a great day and came home very tired. The kids fell asleep on the way home!
Here are some pics from our day!

Ruby is TEN and an Early Christmas celebration!

Our granddaughter Ruby, turned 10 on Sunday, but we didn't get to see her then as she was competing in a gymnastics competition. So we celebrated this milestone with her today as well as having our Christmas number one, as Phil flies back to site tomorrow for work. The weather was perfect, the kids all played nicely together, the food was delicious. A very relaxing and low-key day. Just the way we like it.

TEN years old - just beautiful

A drive in the Country

We jumped in the car around midday, not knowing where we were going. Followed our nose out to the Swan Valley to the Chocolate Factory where we made some small purchases including ice cream and sorbet. On through the country and we ended up at Phils friends house in Toodyay where we got to me his two new foals, 5 and 8 weeks old! So cute. We visited the Christmas shop in the town, which was pretty cool. Fish and Chips for tea, all in all, a lovely Sunday!
