Hello all and a Happy New Year, well Marty and Claire are certainly getting around- lovely to have them in Canberra for a night, and it was great for the girls to spend some time with Uncle Marty, and I got to see him in twice in 3 months! We had a lovely (but cold) Christmas at Matt's out at Murrumbateman. It was OK when we got there, but by the time we had lunch the wind was up and it was freezing- we were all eating outside! Poor Matt, he got his beautiful pergola with decking built for Christmas- and everybody spent most of the day inside! However, it will be a memorable Christmas. We then went to Lisa's for Christmas Eve and she had 12 adults plus three babies stay the night!! Lucky she has such a big house. It was a really good night, and I got lots of cuddles with Ellen's and Lisa's babies! We spent yesterday afternoon and last night at Michael's with his family- Tim and Skye were in town, so we had an early new years- at 9pm, complete with (illegal) fireworks, and I was home and in bed by 10.30. And of course, celebrations continue with our baby Clare's 18th on Saturday. She is celebrating with her friends on Friday night with dinner at a restaurant, and is actually going out to another party on her birthday- one of her friends shares her birthday. Then we have a family brunch on Sunday, and off to the casino for the traditional 18th birthday drinks, which started a long time ago, with only the uncles taking the birthday person out for drinks- now of course it's cousins and aunties. I should be in Sydney next Tuesday I think, and Steve and the girls will come up the following Sunday. Anne Plummer has organised a dinner with some school friends- our school reunion has galvanised everyone into action! So I will be spending my birthday in Sydney with Mum and Dad. Moo, hope you are ready for my list- it's quite extensive, Steve just raises his eyebrows when I make my lists of what I want to see and do when we travel.Anyway, that's about all, see some of you soon.
love you all, Annie
