Here are the pictures

On Dec the 26th we all went to Scott & Jo's and that was the really hot day. When the kids were finally allowed in the pool , it was after 5 pm and the pool was 38 oC. They had a great time ( see Karen's blog) I did once more pinch one of her pictures because I forgot my camera again. This is Pop & Riley makeing the bon-bon pop. The 25th was quiet and we heard later that our 42.2 C temperature put us as the hottest city in the world for Xmas day. Well the next day was worse, 44 oC.With aircon one does not even notice so much and Trev and I had baked pork roullade and baked potatoes for lunch and all. 24th December and the old fella has finally arrived, such excitement. Lots of loot, lots in stockings and poems to read, fun to share. What more can you wish for? One boy was a little worried but the girls were not. Later he was able to thank Santa most politely though.

Dec 21st. well ,I started the Christmas lights tradition in the village but have never won the "Best Lights". howevere, That's OK, I am just happy that we have a very well lit village every Christmas. On this night the winner is announced and the winners of the hampers are drawn. It is done very fairly, the house numbers are drawn out. We missed out but many in our street were winners, which was great. We won a hamper last year so it is being shared around very well.We had our fish & chips with the Mynsbergen family.

Dec 20th, Carols in Our Domain (at the Club) and my 5 aangels all participated in the Traditional tableau. (one got tired and wandered back to Mum & Dad every now and then.
