Pete and I enjoyed a very relaxing evening at Brian and Julie's home overlooking the water in Rockingham.

Afternoon view...

Several ours later....

Isn't Poppy adorable!? It was a fabulous night.

 

Ethan and Will are colouring while eating their cereal...Flynn just eats...

A popular present the rainbow ribbons....

I'm glad I have a few plants for Flynn to water...

 

OUR Christmas Day

Waiting to open their presents....

Go....

Will using his feet to open his presents...

Flynn can open his own presents this year...

Oh Wow....it was wonderful to watch the boys open their presents...they were so excited...

A present to share...they opened it together...

....the aftermath....

Our neighbours, Jen and Phillip deep-fried our turkey ...yummy and very moist ...

A family game after lunch....Will and Todd are watching the cricket....

I didn't think our backyard would be big enough for  a cricket game...

Will is amazing...he hasn't let his broken elbow ruin his day...

Soooo many bubbles from the Bubble Blaster...

 

Chris and Michelle arrived in Perth this morning....so happy to  see them...here they are wrapping presents for their nephews...

Tash and family arrived in the afternoon...fun blowing bubbles...Flynn spotted a plane.

Watching the bubbles rise to the sky.

....the bubble maker...

...such a happy face...

....having a chat...

Ethan and Will thought it hilarious that Chris couldn't put the puzzle together...

Jeremy and Paul are in London

 

Christmas morning at the beach....this year it is South Trigg Beach...

It was a beautiful morning...

It was just the two of us...Pete thoughtfully brought a nonalcoholic bubbly rose to share while we watched the waves.

So many people up and down the coast...how lucky we are.

Will's Birthday

 

Tash preparing the cupcakes...Gen making coffee's.

Chris painting Harriet's face...

Asha and Ziggy painting Todd's face...

....the girls enjoying the craft table...

...and the boys....Ethan and his cousin Alby....making glitter stars for their Christmas tree.

Keeping the candles alight...Will's arm is in a sling, he broke his elbow yesterday...it didn't stop him enjoying his special day.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Will

Flynn and cousin Theo enjoying their cup cake...cakes , I think...

Playing Battleships ...... Will could do that with one hand.
