Christmas surprises!
Thank you Steve and Deana and Max for our exciting Christmas Package!! How exciting having a parcel from across the seas!
We opened it last night and were so excited. I’m enjoying the book and our angel decoration is beautiful! We went from that to Sam’s work Christmas ‘do’. So festive!
Today we went shopping for food. It was CRAZY! Everyone was doing their shopping. The queues for the checkouts went all the way down every aisle. So we got a few bits. Sam stayed in the queue and I ran back and forth getting stuff to make more mince pies. So we bought logs and coal (it’s now properly cold - finally!) and went home to light a fire…
Here are some pictures of our wonderful gifts and a snapshot of our day!
Our Christmas parcel surprise all the way from Colorado!ÂÂ
Me and the Christmas angelÂÂ
The angel decided to go say hi to our other angel - they match!!
And then took pride of place at the top of our tree!

Oh yeah! I’m so glad it got there before Christmas! She is the 2006 Angel because that was a great year, because of all the “meet-ups” we had with you guys! Merry Christmas. With every picture of your Christmas makes me wish we were there!

Deana - it just made it! I’ve loved 2006! And I so wish you were here with us for Christmas. Actually, you have snow so I’d like to be where you are.
Erica - your weather sounds like fun. No pine trees though - are you missing the smell? Do you have tinsel?!
