we're back! :)
Dec. 25th, 2005 06:09 pmWell we just got back (Nan and i here.) Nan will stay over tonight and go back tomorrow morning.
Well it was an awesome day - probably one of my fave christmases cos all the family were there, (as in this time my aunt M ancle J and little C and H :) they're sooo cute! .. anyway was good to see mum and M talking and hopefully it will just improve from here.
Well we got to parents about 10 and I had stacks of SMS replies as I sent a greeting out to almost my entire address book. so was pleased to see most were so caring and christmasy back! :)
Well, we had a wonderful meal of turkey, lamb and all the baked vegies! Was the last to finish my plate! :) And we all pulled our bon-bons course and I got some dominos! and everyone was reading out the dumb jokes, though they were a bit better this year! lol also some people got little pill boxes in theirs and I said "wow, so they even have bon-bons especially for the nursing homes" and Bec cracked up! :) Oh and ang also made her classic comment of the day! Bill came, and she goes
A: So are you married?
Bill: no.
A: Do you have any kids?
B: No
A: (continues) That you know of?
We all laughed and went "Angie! :)
Anyway that was before our gift opening. The big box was that big leather chair! so yeah! can't wait for that! :) I also got like a swimmers bag, a hurdey-Gurdey (I now get one each christmas and birthday. I use to, and still am, fascinated with them :) and I got, a book on CD, chocolate, sox, CD voucher and a few little nice purses.. It was fun as always opening all the presents and hearing all our excited voices, and before that feeling the huuuuge pile of presents under the tree! :)
so yeah, twas great! then we had dissert. Then T came and I went with him, Ang, Kev, Bec and aunt J to look at t's house near Mitcham station. It was quite nice. And the garden was nice! :) then we went back and Aunt M and uncle J had left and Nwoods left not long after. Then we stayed and chatted, parents, Bill, Ang, Trent and myself. Bill, being from scottland and I were talking a lot about my upcoming UK trip and long flights and temperatures! and course ppl I'm staying with.
then Bill left and we left soon after. Got some left overs of course! :)
Now I'm here. The others always have two or three other families to see but we never do as the other side are in NZ course! But last year was when Great Aunt Mary and Ash came out from NZ to have christmas with us.
I am sooo tired now! Having J over boxing day (tomorrow)! good tradition we've started me thinks!
