Yes, I realize it is now the end of January and I am only just now posting about Christmas - we have had fun-filled school holidays that have left no time for blogging. However, now I have more photos than I can shake a stick at, so sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy! Thank you Sam and Kate for the great photos from Tablelands :).

| We had presents at home before heading over the hills to Rob and Liz's. Josie loves the Holiday Barbies. |

| Daddy always reads the Christmas Story before presents. |
