Because we knew the young ones were coming here in late January we postponed Christmas until now. Inside we had buffet salads, prawns and BBQed Snapper Fish and.......
..........we went outside to eat in the warm evening air.For dessert we had Alma's famous trifle.
Our guests were from left to right, Bernie, Sonya (hiding behind Bernie), Carol, David, Bill, Alma,(David's parents) Steve, Melody (David's sister), Erica (hiding)and Jon,(David's brother), and BB.
After dinner was our traditional gift giving time. David is giving out the gifts. It was an enjoyable evening with family.
Looks like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to postpone Christmas and have a later one. Looked like a lot of fun Diane.

Dear Diane, you and Bill have very
ReplyDeleteexciting days. Your family back home, expecting your grandchild any day, wonderful. It is lovely to be grandparents. I always think it also keeps one in touch with the Young ones! Happy days. T.
Hi Diane, thank you for the link to that fitness website. I have left them a message - I will be joining you there soon. That is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas celebration dinner sounds delicious...looks like everyone enjoyed it too!
What indulgence!!! My mouth hasn't stopped watering and twitching!
ReplyDeleteMethinks when the young ones depart for Sydney, the Bohlen seniors will be doing a lot of walking to take off any excesses!!!!!
Great shots as always - congratulations and continue all having a great fun time.
