Christmas getting ready and lots of rain

Twis the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stiring  not even a mouse but out in the garden was a different matter, Leroy captured one and Kidney somehow ended up with it then she lost it, so now the mouse is hiding and they are waiting for it to come out, fat chance if I was the mouse I would stay where I was.

I saw it dash up here

but they are staying with the bits of wood.

Anyway it's getting dark so I'm heading inside now, I will leave them to it.

 Well it's now Christmas day my children and their other half's have arrived, my son the one in blue has been here for a about a week and his wife the one wrapped in a blanket arrived last night they are from another state where it is warmer and for some reason we are now having a cold snap after the heat wave and it's pouring rain, the other two live in Sydney so are used to crazy weather.

 This is before our christmas dinner.

 And of course Angus was here too.

 My daughter looking sweet, guess her age.

 Her partner looking amazed

 This is a great picture but I can't turn it round.

 Murder in the kitchen, the beer fair is making oysters kilpatrick everyone else is mucking around

 For dinner we had
King prawns
Long leg crab legs
Oysters kilpatrick
Roast chicken and baked vegs
 Brownies and ice cream and tropical fruit salad

 getting into the christmas spirit.

 Angus is resting he had bits of everyones dinner.

 This lot have discovered some very funny adds

 So now my son is showing them to me.

 very amusing

 This is why we can't have dinner out under the trees lots of rain

 The same thing happened last year.

 wet christmas day, who would have guessed but we need the rain.

So no complaining, hope you all had a great christmas mine was and now I'm very full of lovely food.
Happy new year.
