I was excited. Our daughters and their families were coming from Melbourne to Brisbane to spend some time with us over the Christmas Holidays. Carol and David arrived first and celebrated Christmas Eve with us and Christmas Day with David's family. Sonya and the boys came later on New Year's Eve they had spent Christmas Day with Bernie's Family in Melbourne. Bernie had been working over Christmas and New Year. He was playing in the Musical, "A Christmas Carol". He came up later when it had finished.
So we had two Christmas Dinners and present giving days. One with just Carol and David and another when Sonya and the boys arrived.
Christmas Eve with Carol and David.
We had traditional Aussie Fare, seafood and salads. Tiger Prawns and Moreton bay Bugs (like small lobsters).
Then it was present time. We really don't need anything at our age but we do enjoy receiving books.
Another day we invited friends for afternoon tea. Carol loves baking so she made us a delicious baked cheesecake.
She also cooked Bill's favourite Swiss breakfast loaf. He enjoyed a Swiss breakfast of bread cheese and jam.
The stormy day ended with a pretty sunset.
