Dass Schnapps Trinken

Just to wet your appetites!!

This has become a bit of a Roger and Amy tradition whenever they get together. So, on Christmas Eve when we were celebrating at Tim and Amy's, out came the schnapps and Roger and Amy enjoyed a drink together. They didn't have to worry about sharing the schnapps.

Here's to you!!

Up the teeth and over the gums, look out stomach, here it comes!!

You're on your own with this one guys. Looks say everything!!

Christmas Day

All dressed up for Christmas Day 2010

Ready for the big feast (we dined outside)

Roger being presented with a Family Album put together by Glenda. A VERY emotional time for us both. It is just beautiful and a real credit to Glenda

Roger and I celebrated Christmas Day 2010 with our beautiful family at Glenda and Tom's in Nunawading. We began the day at ONE (the Church Glenda and Tom go to) as Glenda was singing in the band. Then home for drinks and nibbles before the rest of the family began to arrive. Glenda and Tom did an amazing job with the food which including prawns, turkey, ham, lamb cutlets and lots of lovely salads and vegetables. An incredible spread for us all to enjoy. 12 of us sat down at the table and here we all are:

l-r from back: Roger, Amy, David, Gaynor, Sue, Tom and Tim

Here we are with David, Sue, Anna and Amy

Adventures over East

Roger and I flew to Sydney at 23.45 on Wednesday 8 December. We didn't sleep on the uncomfortable plane so arrived rather tired on Thursday. What a blessing to be met by Roger's cousin Alan who kindly took care of us and drove us up to his home in Springwood with his wife Carolyn who had herself just returned from a visit overseas (good timing for us).

They lent us their car and we drove from Springwood (in the Blue Mountains near Sydney) to Wentworth Falls to visit Roger's Aunt Margaret.

We had 2 lovely days with Alan and Carolyn and then they drove us to Sydney for Aunt Jean's 90th Birthday celebrations on Sunday 12 December. We enjoyed catching up with all the extended family. It was a very emotional time for my darling. Dave and Sue (Roger's brother and his wife) then drove us up to Newcastle to spend a couple of nights with them until our adventure drive to Melbourne with them beginning Tuesday 14 December. We sure did have a great time together and have Dave to thank for wonderful, comfortable accommodation along the way. Just a couple of photo's for you to enjoy.
