Christmas was one big plethora of food, presents, wine, laughter and fun. Although it was a quiet one, we all had a fantastic time. Riley's stitches were a focal point for him - he was so proud of them!!
That night, we came home. I organised the house, put all the new stuff away, finished packing and went to bed. At 8am, we left for the farm.
Another great time. Seriously, life is SO simple and easy up there (particularly when one SIL didn't make it... ;) ). Swimming in the dam, riding bikes, reading books and catching up with family - really, it's just a great place. As an aside, we went and checked out 'our' block (if that's where we actually end up!!!) and more than ever we both want to go.
Back home for NYE; I would've loved to have gone to Sydney with some beautiful friends; but it wasn't to be. It was just going to be cutting it all too fine. So, instead, we went up to our friends place who has had a small 'tree change' - sitting up on a hill, we could see ALL the fireworks - even the city ones. Great night; quiet, but great fun.
Tomorrow; we are off for another week. It is instead of our 'river' trip. We figured (back then), it would be simply too hot. Although; it's not remotely as hot as it has been; but it'll be nice to go somewhere different.
Today is a mess of packing, lunching and sorting, as we need to leave by 6am tomorrow. I did get the portable DVD off my father though - so at least the entire trip won't be 'are we there yet'!!!
Hope your break was wonderful and I shall be back around the 10th.

Shel, you so have to move there, just so you can blog about it for me to read ;) Looks gorgeous.
And are you going to share with us HOW Riley actually ended up with stitches?
