In January, our youngest daughter, Sonya and her two sons, Fox and Banjo flew from Melbourne to have a holiday in sunny, warm Queensland. Her husband, Bernie couldn't come until later as he was acting in the musical, "A Christmas Carol". Carol and David were still here and so we had a houseful for some days. It was noisy but fun. We had a heat wave at the same time and the poor souls used to the southern cooler weather found it hard to cope in the tropical, humid heat. So we had the aircon on 24/7. Carol wanted to do Christmas all over again to include Sonya and the boys. So we did! We had another seafood and salad lunch and present giving.

yay for a 2nd or 3rd Christmas, and for having your girls together again. while you are really hot we are really cold. 39 f here this moment and that is a record cold for us, like your record heat. like your girls, they are not used to heat and we are not used to cold. everyone looks so happy and that makes me happy for you...
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe grandson have grown, you have a beautiful family. Looks like everyone had a fun time.
Take care, have a great day and happy new week!
Great idea to put cold seafood and salads on the table. It looks more attractive and eliminates the need to turn on the oven. And your children are having a ball.
ReplyDeleteTalking of which I must say that the southern states rarely suffer from humidity in summer. But this year in Melbourne we had a week of high humidity that brought normal life to a standstill. Everyone looked sweaty and tired :(
I remember your grandsons being so young and look at them now. I'm sure you love the family visits, even though they must be tiring.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to have another Christmas meal when all family are together. Beautiful photos of your family and the eldest is like his father, the younger like his mother...beautiful children all round Diane.
ReplyDeleteI think Christmas needs to be celebrated daily...lolol
ReplyDeleteLovely family!
hugs
Donna
It is a very special time when your family can be together. I bet they were happy to not be here today! Killer heat and humidity
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very happy. I can't believe how much your grandsons have grown up. Seems quite a short time since they were little.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, two Christmases sounds just about right to me! Those are some handsome grandsons you have, and they are so big now. I can still recall Fox in his infancy the one time we were able to meet you in person in Los Angeles all those years ago. I wish you and Bill a very good year that continues as lovely as it has started out.
ReplyDeleteLovely happy family photographs ... such joy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
How lovely to have another Christmas, and to have your family together. Wishing you all the best for the year ahead.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to keep having "Christmas". Family celebrations are the best..Love the photos of the Grands.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting that your corner of the world is hot when we are cold.
Love all the photos.
Sue
