Christmas, and New years holiday's

Currently I am on holiday's from work.

So far I have celebrated Christmas and New year's with a great deal of laziness and leisure.

On Christmas eve I went to my sister and brother in law's place in Lower Plenty and had my self a pre Christmas day feast.

To give you an Idea as to what we did when I was there, I shall provide you with the following pictures with comments.

This is Greg pinching food while Jannelle's back is turned.

This is Jannelle responding.

After eating. Some of us decided to spend a bit of time in the outdoor spa.

While others chose to relax.

Later on that day we sang happy birthday for David McLean who is currently serving a mission in Italy.

Before Craig, Greg and I left to go up to Mum and Dads place in Milawa, Jannelle wanted to make sure that she got a picture of me with one of her daughters.

Since Christmas fell on a Sunday, we decided that we would go to church for an hour before feasting on fine food cooked by our mother.

Dad always set's the table for Christmas.

It's the only day of the year that it looks this good for a meal.

After Christmas lunch I decided to take a few photos around the house

This is a view of the house from the front.

This is a shot looking into the Pecan nut grove with a gum tree and a willow tree in the foreground.

This is Greg, Brian and Elizabeth having a chat at the dining room table before they start playing cards.

As I am a heavy snorer, I always get sent to the shed for bed. At least I have the deer head to keep me company.

On Thursday 29th December I went to a family reunion in Sydney.

This is the motel that I stayed in.

On Friday we had a get together at Parramatta chapel.

On Saturday we took the ferry to Manly.

On Sunday morning I went to church at Parramatta.

On Sunday afternoon I went to Kirrawee chapel for another family get together.

Not much of us left as you can see as half of us had already left at this stage.

Come Tuesday, I was the last one to leave.

I went home by plane.
