A Very Moggy Aussie Christmas

Well, we had everything!  The big man found us, the sun shone and the "snow"came.  We ate, we drank, we celebrated and commiserated. Did I mention we ate....and ate..and ate....

Stephs fudge.  Yumm.

All ready for the kids in the morning.  Nice work Santa.

Out like a light.  No matter where you lie your head...the big man knows where to find you.

A Christmas stoking 'aint a Christmas stocking without the obligatory choc coins.

The only day of the year where it is totally acceptable to have champagne for breakfast....except for Melbourne Cup Day...Grand Final day....your birthday....any day that ends in Y really!

Nice work Santa.

A tad excited.  

We are all dreaming of a white Christmas...right?

Be careful what you wish for.  They say if you don't like the weather in Melbourne wait five minutes.  We had prawns under the midday sun for lunch and by four in the afternoon we had a white Christmas.

Yes....it is Summer here in Melbourne.

With no power it was a quite a Silent Night...pun intendend.

But true to form Melbourne put on a beautiful Boxing day which we spent in the countryside.

With another stash of present to open.  Have you ever seen a cuter pair of slippers?  I tried to wear them but I was like the ugly stepsister in Cinderella trying to shove my 39's in there.

With protection in place it was time to start the Nerf war....NO PRISONERS!!!!

...while mummy settled for something more bubbly.

Did I mention we ate.....

....and ate...and ate.

Cousins.

A game of Bocce on the grass.

A bit of a rest tucked up in a blanket.

The kids had not seen their cousins for a while and as always it amazes me how they just pick up where they left off.  It was so great to reconnect again.

No matter how old you are a tent is hours of fun.  We had a real mixed bag this Christmas but the one thing that was consistent was how great it was to see everyone again.
