Aussie Christmas 2007

Celebrating Christmas in Australia was totally different as one might expect. Beside the fact that the weather in the 20's, most families have afternoon meals rather than dinner.

We started off the day by going to Ro's for breakfast, then we headed over to Kristy and Troy's for the afternoon.

This is a mural in Gormandale where Greg worked. Sort of sums up Christmas in Australia.



Barb and Howards house decorated for Christmas. Notice the White boomers? Kangaroos?

Mick received a helmet from Ro and Grandma.

Amanda released that being in a vehicle with Mick requires wearing a helmet at all times.

Tell him he's dreaming... Ro gave us a copy of The Castle. In order to get the joke wait to we get home and watch the movie.

We missed home but Christmas down under was full of good food, good fun and family. Thanks to the whole family for having us.
