I will endeavour to come back during the day and share some photos of our Day...
ONWARD... The unwrapping awaits!
THE CHRISTMAS EVE BBQ... had a ball.. they finally left at 1 am! Luckily for us the kids slept in till almost 8am! UNHEARD OF!
WAITING FOR THE 'GO' TO START UNWRAPPING! Shit Griffin looks like A DICK!
Stew.... Heee heee... I got him Silver Check for his hair... cos he has LOTS of grey hair.. not that you can see much of his hair seeing as he shaves it so short.
UNWRAPPING..... going on..... huge mess ..... but that's ok.
CUTE...
YES! YES! YES~! no more bored kids in the car .... PSP's are AWESOME....
CHOCOLATES FOR BREAKFAST... kind of a 'family tradition' around this house! So bad!

End of Day: DINNER IS SERVED:

Good Christmas Morning........Hope you have a fantastic day and can't wait to see some of the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! A New Zealand Christmas sounds wonderful.. Oh to be warm again! I live in Georgia, and the weather is fairly mild, but still cold enough to sit by the fire to get warm.
ReplyDeleteGlad tidings from the U.S.
Merry Christmas...from a snowing southern England. Loved the photos in your last post btw, that Brylee is gorgeous. I may need brace advice at some point - we have a similar situation. That can keep though - Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, I've been out of town and just now catching up on my reading. Your Christmas looks sunny and bright!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a wonderful holiday. It's been nice getting to know you this year and seeing all of your fabulous sewing projects! Looking forward to more next year.
Merry Christmas!

Not Christmas here yet! All that snow is for the birds!
ReplyDeleteHope you got a lot of cool toys!
PS I think we have those same trees with the orange flowers here in Cayman! They turn orange in the summer, and green in the winter!
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas you had Chris. Looks like the kids were well satisfied. I'm up early before going to my daughters for our Christmas morning. We had 35-40 people here last night for Christmas Eve. I'm all with you in for the chocolates for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteSummer and Christmas :)
Chris,
ReplyDeleteHoney - you look so sad sitting on the couch watching the children . The children look as happy as you - do not?
Maybe you are just "bone tired" . I always feel like a deflated balloon.I always have to "regroup" and rest a bit and then start all over for this coming year.
Looking forward to your new projects
Hugs
Looks like you all had a very Merry Christmas! Yea! I have some friends in Singapore (for the husband's work) and their Christmas was hot and humid this year. I think that would be "odd" since it's winter here, but I bet we'd manage just fine. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks great too! Very pretty!
