Christmas Day - 2010

We had a lovely Christmas Day even though it was very quiet we did have a great day.
We awoke to an overcast kind of day and it did not look like we would be swimming at all. We had been having really shocking weather for this time of year not very summer like at all.
Both Chris and I got up and opened our parcels from each other and some that Yasmine had kindly posted over for us, we were both very spoiled. Breakfast over it was then time to do the ringing to NZ and catch up with most of the family, as Chris's family well some of them were getting together on Boxing Day at Angela's Chris would catch up with them all on the 26th, we did chat with Yasmine,Adam and Rory before they went off for their Christmas lunch.
We went to our very special friends Helen and David Waldron's for Christmas lunch it ws lovely we had a mixture of hot and cold, we offered to take a roast chicken, some frozen peas,pavlova,cream,strawberries and Chrismas Crackers. We had a great time with our friends and decided around 2.30 to head off for home and on the way we called in to see Victoria and the granddies Oliva and Jamie and give them their christmas parcels.
Only a week earlier

we had Caroline and grandaughter Alesha come and stay from up Gladstone, so we managed to catch up with all the family which was great.
We left Vickys and headed home to rest and have a snooze, one thing we did not need any dinner on Christmas night.
