My parents, sister & her family all live in Australia; my sisters-in-law and their respective families - some in USA, others, the UK and others in New Zealand. Only my own little family (husband and two grown children) and FIL (aged 94) still remain in SA. Our own Christmas gathering was very small, but nevertheless lovely!<br /><br />Wishing you all a very, very happy wedding celebration!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.com
