We had a wonderful day.....
all the family were able to be together for Christmas Lunch.
Ooooops not all.... our naughty little Corinne was in Japan having a blast.
So I will forgive her this time.
I had the table ready, it looked great and then !!!!!!
a huge storm....
well that meant everything had to be moved as the rain was blowing in the patio
Fortunately it passed just as the family arrived so I had help to put it all back together.
After all that I forgot to take a photo of my pretty table.
First of all we had our pressie giving....
we did Secret Santa this year and as usual it was a lot of fun.
Heather's gift was a wine glass wine bottle attached....
one can say "I only had 1 glass of wine" and no she didn't drink it all.....
It was funny watching her try to drink it without sending it all up her nose.
Heather and Sylvio
Sylvio's gift was totally covered in plastic ties so it took him a while to get to the pressie.
His children gave him the Rabbit Ears and he did look so pretty in them too.

I love getting photos of family at this time of year...
Liz and Dad (Gav)
Heather and Liz
Except for one person.
My son Robert hates being in photos with an absolute vengeance.....
So I pleaded .....
please please have a photo with Mummy ?
At last I got a good one so I guess that will be it for some years.....
Love you.....Thanks
Rob and Mel
Rob wasn't happy about this one either as you can see....
and my gorgeous grandchildren.....

Well that's about it for another year.....
each Christmas I tell myself.....
"don't make any more Christmas decorations"
do I listen ..... NO...... so I guess there will be more goodies next year.
Toodles....
