Boxing Day (our Christmas Day)

Watching the Boxing Day Test...

Jeremy bought the boys a swag each for when they go camping...took the boys a while to figure out what they were...

A dinosaur game!!!!

Can't wait to start building with his new lego.

The water toys that Mandy and Graeme gave the boys were a huge success.

Bend the hose then let it go....yahoo!

Flynn is not so sure... 

Nice view of Mandy and Graeme's pretty back yard...and the adults.

A hose, cup and water kept him a amused...

A relaxing, quiet game of 500 ...after a wonderful day of fun with the family.

 

CHRISTMAS DAY

Mandy and Graeme's Christmas tree...this year it is Todd's family's turn to celebrate Christmas together on the 25th and we will celebrate tomorrow on Boxing Day.

We still kept up the tradition of going to the beach on Christmas Day...and having a swim and a champagne.

Yallingup Lagoon looked sensational ....the surf was up so we enjoyed watching the riders catch the waves.

How beautiful is the water?!

I can't think of anything I'd rather do than be at the beach on Christmas morning with family.

In the afternoon, Mandy, Pete, Jeremy and I did a beach/bush walk from Dunsborough to Meelup Beach. Not very strenuous but great views.

Castle Rock beach....

Mandy, Pete, Jeremy and I managed to squeeze in a game of Scrabble before heading off to the beach for 5 o'clock drinks.

At the Dunsborough foreshore...

CHRISTMAS EVE

 

Jeremy, Pete and I drove down to Dunsborough in one car and Chris and Michelle in the other. We are all staying with Mandy and Graeme. This afternoon we met up with Tash, Todd and the boys, Jo and Ash and Brad, Nerida and their children.  The photo above is Michelle, Graeme and Chris walking from Graeme's house to the Dunsborough boat ramp where we met the others.

Perfect weather for an afternoon picnic.

Admiring the view...

Having a paddle...

Pretty strong!

Fun in the park...

Alby and Ethan played together for ages, just loved the warm shallow water.

Enjoying their holiday...

Such a cutie. 

 

On their way to Rotto for the day....

Jeremy joined us for dinner...

 

Chris and Michelle arrived in Perth today and with them came this beautiful book of their wedding photos that Halina, Michelle's mum, made for me.  What a thoughtful gift, I really love it.

 

A visit to Millers Ice Creamery with Nanna and Grandad ...

Deeeelicious!

I loved this pretty pink bottle brush in Tasha's front garden....

Relaxing before the drive home....
