Christmas and New Year

G'Day Fans (ie Denise and Emma),



Thought I'd do another post and put up some pictures from the holiday season. We have a couple from Christmas Eve at Mum's where, as usual, the present-giving ceremony looks chaotic and in a shambles because of the crowd. This year Dad recorded all our old home videos onto DVDs and played them on the big screen.









Then we had Christmas Day with the Pruntys down in Canberra - here is a very composed Mother-Ann opening her present - a walking tour tasting the culinary delights of Italian cuisine.


And of course we must include Granny Ethel who was in her usual partying spirit:


After a relaxing rest in the ACT we shlepped up to the Hunter Valley and stayed in the most awesome house on The Vintage golf course. Here is the crew in the kitchen:




We went on a winery tour, which was so much fun and went around Pokolbin and Lovedale sampling wine, cheese, chocolate and olive oil. Oh - and for the foodies - this was the nicest pot pie ever:







New Year's Eve was a party at the house - get a second hand outfit, no more than $20 as glamorous as possible. Thanks Aunty D for the gold dress - I owe you $20 :)
