Christmas Festivities


Happy New Year to All.
I am finally getting around to loading up our photos from christmas 2010.
Above is a picture of Sean and I dressed up (high heels and all - a rare occurence!) for his office's christmas party. Off to Catalina at Rose Bay. Very Very Yummy Food!!

We had a lovely time catching up with a few of the Bannon side just before christmas. Aunty Maureen, Uncle Ned, Jodie and the kids Tom & Ellie from Cootamundra were here to visit David & Lucy and family at Lane Cove. Lisa and Graham have moved to Sydney from the UK so we were glad to see Lisa again and meet Graham. Lots of blondies in the family. Above is a picture of the girls making milkshakes with James and Ellie. Next to it is a picture of Archie Thomas Miller growing tall- looking a lot like David!

We had christmas at home for 2010 which was relaxing for us. Megs, Nige and Nate came to visit. Here are the girls on christmas day with some pressies...Elise with Tinkerbell outfit from the Sparrows and Gisele with her baby penguin from Santa. She named it Isla.
We went Clifton Gardens for a christmas day picnic lunch. It was a gorgeous day and as you can see the ice cream truck made a fortune off all the picnickers!! The kids even had a swim.


On boxing day we took the keen shoppers into the city for the Boxing Day Sales...
Nate loves the train and Gisele was keen to take baby Isla for a day out.

Here is my beautiful sister....Choo choo the train goes Choo choo!!
Here is Natey Boy in the cubby - waving with Elise
On the 27 Dec we had a gathering of the Baldwin family (My nanna's family on mum's side) on the Central Coast. The Haysoms were up from Adelaide as Anastasia, Sami and Ella were visiting from Finland) Leonie, Kerry, Kimmie and Grandma Crowe were amazing hosts and we had a huge yummy spread. Gotta love the christmas time and summer time desserts.

Some of the gatherers and soon to say goodbye to Aunty Meg. Don't Go!!

Everyone together and then the girls power - matriachs. I have to say there is a lot of wonderful strong female energy in this family!
