Holiday catch up

What a wonderful family Christmas! It was chaos! It was mayhem! There was so much going on that days and time flowed together but it was all about being together and having just a great time. The cousins were fantastic together and played so wonderfully. It was just great to watch and enjoy.

It was also very special as my Nanna came from Adelaide to have Christmas with us all and to meet all her great grand children. Her time with us came and went all too fast but was made up of many wonderful and lasting memories.

The family time ended all too soon and we were off in the caravan for our week in Jindabyne. A wonderful time - even if the weather was a tad dodgy at times. It was time to relax and not have to think about work or the day to day jobs that need to be done but enjoy our company and that of our friends. This year Mum and Dad were able to join us and I think they had a great time as they have booked in to join us again next year. Of course we did our traditional happy new year photo to add to our memories.


We spent as much time as the weather allowed on the water. The end result is that Mario learnt to water ski which is totally awesome. He looks so cool standing there behind thejet ski going from side to side. Won't be long and he will be jumping the wake...... leaving his parents in his wake.

When we weren't in the water Mario was on his bike making friends with the other little boys in the caravan park. He may have been the youngest but he was a little leader and even I had to remind myself that he is only 4 and there is a need for quiet time and early nights and there is nothing like a good nights sleep so you can go back and do it all again.

Gotta love this time of the year!! May you all have a wonderful 2009!!!

Wonderful pictures, beautiful family. Mario is growing so fast and looks like he belongs in the water. He is a natural and looks so neat on water ski's. How cool. Happy New Year and may 2009 be filled with blessings.

Hey K, that second pic of Mario on the water behind the jet ski is fabulous. You do need to remind yourself of his age when you see skills like these.
Great to see the above comment from Grace.
