Xmas Day - Dec17

It was a scorcher here today for Xmas Day, reaching around 36-37C so almost all of it was spent inside with air conditioning on. However I did get up early and managed to jerry-rig an irrigation system in our vege enclosure.

We had an excellent day, and Jonathan was over the moon about what Santa brought him. As I type, you can barely see the carpet with all the toys and pieces of lego (which will probably turn into death traps at 3am as I wander around the house in a daze with bare feet....).

We also did a lot of cooking and food prep. For breakfast, we made Xmas tree shaped waffles, then for lunch I did a chargrilled salmon and peach salad, some roast potatoes and a pavlova for dessert while Jenn made a tomato and bocconcini salad and prepared a turkey.

Merry Xmas everyone and enjoy the shots!

Xmas Lights Drive Around - Dec17

One of the things we do on an annual basis is check out some of the stunning Xmas lights that some people put up around their houses. We prefix this with pizza beforehand and make a night of it.

I am amazed at how much work some people put in and we were both blown away by the 3/4 displays we checked out.

This Xmas is Jonathan's first Xmas where he has awareness of what is going on and is much looking forward to Santa's visit in just over a week!

Anyway, below are some of the shots. Merry Xmas everyone!
