Xmas was good at Preston Beach!!
Drove thru Waroona instead of the usual straight-but-busy-road thru Mandurah on the eve. The Coronation Road to get to the main road was spooky. Kangaroos were hopping across the streets, bunnies were in & out of the burrows which surprisingly were just on the verges and there was even a flat fox (roadkill). But we got to the house ok, late but still, ok.
Xmas morning, I was woken up by Tasha & her chrissy singings & the TV at 5am!! Finally managed to open my eyes at 6am... And both of us sat in the lounge started exchanging & opening gifts!! Aunty Jan joined us & there were MORE PRESSIES!!! hehehe... As the entire house was stirring when one by one the others got up, we had a barbie breakfast!! I mean, what else can we have in a beach house? hehe...
Kris & I went for a walk around the national park but decided there were too many roo poo for us to go on any further, especially with me wearing a sequinned slipper!! When we got back, everyone else have already got back from their swim at the beach... Had another shower, another rest & a late lunch... Dinnertime, Bak Nor arrived after work & it was his turn to open the gifts.
Boxing Day saw a lot of aunts, uncles, cousins & a niece as well as Kaye & Ali with their daughters. Denise was the first to arrive with Ashley and Princess, their greyhound-looking whippit. Anyway, after lunch & desserts, we had to rush off, leaving them all there at the house. Kris was glad to get out of there... There was no air-con & it was really getting crowded.
Along the 2hr drive, we were lucky to have Gosnells Railway Markets open cos we had to get Greg & Lindsay's gifts. Les got a Darrell Lea Rocklea Road, Greg got a Holden vs Ford T-shirt & Lindsay got a Holden poster. And I made a banana bread for them to take home to Meckering. Mind you, I had to rush thru making the pavlova desserts and the bread!! But when the boys were here, we had fun!!
And today, Kris & I are really tired... so, we're just gonna rest... Hope everyone had a great xmas!!
