XMAS 2005

Well,,,Christmas has come and gone for another year.. This year we spent in our new house in Newcastle as we didn’t want to take the chance if the bub arrived early….
Ma & Pa came down and Jodie and Matt came up from sydney for the day….. although it was quiet is was a very nice day….. Bill, Mum and I headed into the catherderal for the 7.30 church session in the morning which was really nice…. Bill then went for a christmas day surf….. Byt he time we got home dad was chanting at the bit to open some pressies but we had to wait for Jod to arrive…..
Jod and Matt arrived just before 11 am and it was stacks on the mill to get he best seat in the lounge room for pressies……. Bill played santa and the presents were handed out a plenty…..
all in all I think it showed that everyone was good for the year as well all got some really nice stuff.
The baby.. although not here yet also scored pretty well with pressies…… here is a pic of the bubs first pressie

Bill got dragons bar matt for his new bar

This is jod and Matt opening the pressie Mel !!.. thanks mel your stiching pics are unreal

Mum also got a very very nice watch from Pa !!! god love him..

And last but not least dad ended up with 3 new watches for xmas…. He got a really nice proper one from Ma.. and 2 mickey mouse watches from the kids ( these are watches he can were to work adn get covered in tile grount etc etc.. usually $5 from Go Lo )
He was so excited about his watches he could get into them having to resort to using his teeth

we had a beautiful baked xmas lunch that Ma cooked …. and then had a little rest before heading over to Paul and Donna’s place to spend xmas evening with Trev, Jean, Paul, Donna, Wendy, Paul, Dave and Donna’s family…. it was really nice…..
we got home just in time to put in a call to Melanie who was all by herself in Rocky to say Merry Christmas !!!…
so all in all you couldn’t have asked for much more…..
