An Early Family Christmas

My goodness, two posts in as many days! Well we had another family get together, barbecue at Vicki and Travis's because they and Trev and I, will miss Christmas Eve, for the first time in years, and celebrate Xmas in Bali instead.(They leave Tuesday, we on Wednesday.) Thus we had our gift giving, just from us .Lovely things appeared from parcels, Esky, special wines and preserves, delicate brooches, lively plants that cannot die, Miniature lemon tree, perfume, soap, chocolates, football radio, dollies, rainbow ponies and some great vouchers and wonderful books. Father Christmas did not mind being early, saves him some time on Xmas Eve and morning.Ofcourse , the others here will still celebrate on Christmas Eve, as normal. I think we were all thrilled, pleased and surprised by the gift each family got from Vicki, Travis and Caitlyn...a book containing images of our lovely family holiday in Thailand, last year.
Cushions everywhere. Started last year but lost in storage, I have now finished them, 11 in all and a couple half way which I might finish for the kids when they have their market stall.
