Our first Christmas celebration was spent up in Buderim the Tuesday before Christmas with Jon's maternal rellies. It turned into a much later night than planned due to having a jolly good time :) Abigail particularly enjoyed all the excitement, but by 9pm she was asking for bed (thank you Bruce and Karen for the use of your bed for the girls!). Good company and good food (again, thank you B & K!).
We spent Christmas itself up in Bundaberg with my Grandma - a real treat given that it has been years since I last had Christmas with her. We were thoroughly spoilt with presents and food, and in being able to do very little in general! Thank you Grandma!
While in Bundaberg we found a great park nearby with a neat play area and a mini 'zoo' that was open. The kids loved looking at all the animals (birds, emus, ostrich, chickens, geese, goats, sheep.....); and playing - particularly the slides and swings. On Boxing Day Jon and I did some water-blasting (to help work off that Christmas food! Kidding!).
We got home yesterday (and immediately went swimming - our air con decided not to work for the long journey home, for some reason it's not sharing with us!). It was a great Christmas. A big thank you to all our family and friends who gave us such wonderful gifts - love them and love you! :)
Happy Christmas!
