'Twas 4am and I was up placing gifts under the tree (like a Christmas idiot) so the gifts would indeed be a surprise for two inquisitive children... er, adults... who can't help but search out my hiding places and ruin the surprise...~
...then 'twas 7.15am and they were into it! Father was not impressed at being woken from his slumber...~
Christmas this year was at my nieces (her name is Mel Gibson, by the way!) It was a beautiful, warm, sun-shiny day with family a plenty. This is my cute great-nephew, Klaye, enjoying a splash in the cool water...~
My mum receiving a gift...~

The littlies having some lunch in the shade - there were 10 cousins and they all played so nicely and had fun all day, no fights or tears...~
The spread of food we enjoyed...~
Lots of yummy salads and cold turkey, pork, ham and chicken...~

...my plate runneth over...~
...brothers-in-law and nephews and uncles chatted...~
...the slip-n-slide got a work out...~

~
...kids bounced, jumped, ran, slid, sang...~
... enjoying the blue sky day and then Santa arrived, jingling his bell...~
...cuddles for Santa...~
...he was a jolly old fella, handing out lollies...~
...he got Nana B giggling...~
...and had a go on the slip-n-slide!~
Little cousins having fun...~
Son-in-law having fun with mother-in-law...~

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Day as much as I did, I am blessed to have my family around me.
