Christmas 2011

We have had the most wonderful Christmas Day with my family!!  Starting with breakfast and opening presents around the tree (Torie's boyfriend Nick took this picture).

Then Wayne's parents, his sister Debbie and her husband Phil arrived for lunch.

We had a lovely traditional feast with turkey, pork, ham and all the trimmings, with Christmas pudding and brandy custard for dessert, plus some lovely Mars Bar and Lemon Slice that Torie brought.  After lunch we were joined by Nick's mum, Sue and her partner Steve (last photo, above).

Then, during the afternoon a really awful storm came over, with hailstones the size of golfballs.  We were very worried that Phil's and Steve's cars would be damaged, as they were out in the open.

But, luckily there was no damage, so we were able to continue enjoying ourselves until it was time for Deb, Phil, Torie, Nick, Sue and Steve to go.  This left my parents and Wayne's parents, who were staying over and we sat and watched a couple of movies - one on the TV, "Deck the Halls" and then a DVD that was Wayne's Dad's Christmas present, "Red Dog".  It was a nice ending to a fantastic day!
