Xmas from the Chookpen

We started Christmas Eve by admiring Gary's huge sunflowers,a sight to behold.
Santa came and gave each child a light up candle and some sweets, such a nice touch. Aunty Net thanked him appropriately.
Even Santa himself seemed surprised by the loot bags that are supposed to be the 'stockings", so much so that he nearly forgot to tell the kids where the presents were hidden! It is not easy joining the "de Jong "clan ,especially if you are a young man and from overseas.CHelsea's Brad did very well last night and he received the usual tease stocking with every souvenir available in Perth,hats,flags,novelties and ofcourse,thongs. Our other "Newy", Kasha has intergrated very well and Net made her a lovely 12 days of Christmas stocking. Funny, soppy but nice.Well done sis and the night was lovely.
Rick,Karen and the girls joined us for seafood(and rookworst) lunch in the chookpen today.
