We travelled to Dubbo on the 21st Dec to see everyone for the festive season. The trip to Dubbo was a long one...road works everywhere for the start of the school holidays??
We stayed with Megs & Nige and Sean and I even got to go to the movies to see Avatar - Thanks Megs for babysitting.
Popped over to see Michelle and Tim one night - they live close to Megsy- all so handy!!
Lovely to see the Thompsons and Sparrows at Maeve's 7th B'day party on the evening of the 23rd. Happy Birthday Maeve!! A few pics below of the kids at the park below.
Yes Dubbo was stinking hot! There was no surprise about that.
The kids are cooling off in the splash pool below and we had a trip to the water play area at Elston Park.
On Christmas Eve we spent the evening
at Mick & Ang's place having dinner and opening presents.
Nate & Archie with the teddy bear. Archie has gorgeous curly hair now and Nate is starting to grown some ginger hair. Little cuties!!
Elise tries on new tinkerbell outfit. Archie and his pressie.
Gisele loves her upsy daisy - as big as her.
I missed mum more than ever this christmas!! Last year we were all travelling to Ballina and I think I was so worried about Megsy and the safe arrival of Nate. We were also looking forward to the arrival of Archie not long after that, so we had a lot happening on the horizon.
This year there was a big gaping hole where mum should be. She would have been so excited about all the new family members to celebrate with. We know how much she loved babies and would have showered them with cuddles and kisses. Of course she would melt and delight in all the unique personalities amd developments of all our little ones. She would have fussed over all of us.
It is a wonderful time in our lives- having our young families! We just wish mum was here to share in it.....
Christmas morning we had a big breaky at Mick and Ang's place which filled us up for the day. Then we set off on our drive back to Sydney. The rain started which was exciting for everyone out west. The roads were unbelievably quiet and the girls slept from Mudgee to the Blue Mountains. We made it home in a record 5 hours.

Home by late afternoon - no food in the fridge and not much open in the way of restaurants so we had pizza hut for christmas dinner!
