MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well here it is our first Christmas in Oz. The children's concern that Santa might not find them was eased last night when they each received a personal video from the man himself confirming that they were on his good list and that he would be visiting them in Queensland during the night!
That done they all went to bed remarkably well adn we did not hear a peep out of them until 0600(not bad compared to 0230 last year!)
Whilst we did not see the man himself we certainly got some pictures to prove he had been.
The loaded tree

The children were visited as well but despite hanging around with the camera we did not get any pictures of him either...

just proof of delivery!

In the morning there was a brief calm...

...................before the carnage began.....

We then had a brief respite over breakfast before it was outside time.
Let battle commence...

before battle commenced..

with the addition of a few water bombs we got rather wet - far too wet for the camera and so now we are back inside watching DVDs.

We miss you ALL and hope that you have a great and not too damp Xmas.

Lots of love the Funnell Clan Down Under!

PS Tuesdays is our rubbish collect day so we thought rats no collection until well after the New Year but NO 0645 rubbish lorry comes down the street so mad rush to get the bin out whilst not wearing too many clothes!
