christmas day

well its past! christmas day is over! i have posted some pics of our first aussie christmas. the kids woke us at 7am!!! i had thought that since they are a little bit older that i'd get a lie in????? once all the presents were open and they had all sung their little hearts out on singstar, we headed to the beach. it was packed, there were people everywhere! some were just having a short visit but there were some that were obviously there for the day. little beach tents, gazebos, and of course the other aussie must have the esky!! thats a cool box to you and me! the kids were straight in the water, except mikey cos he had done his hair!!!! i decided that since we 'STOLE' phyllis and stuarts children!!!, we would build a sand man!!! no snow anywhere around so we used sand!! afterwards we headed home for showers and off to dave and mechelles for lunch. the kids had burgers and steak!!! we had cray fish, oysters, chilli mussells and prawns! i am still a little surprised at myself cos i tasted and ate all of it!!!! the kids spent the day in the pool and after we had eaten the kids were replaced by the adults, there was much throwing each other around and up on shoulders. the kids ended up in the garage singing on singstar helped by a few of the adults!!!!! by the end of the night, the kids were tired, adults boozy and it was off to bed. unfortunately i am working this afternoon so i dont get to do the whole sales shopping but i am sure stevi will shop hard enough for both of us!!!
