I got up at about 5am took Gary a cup of tea, packed the  Christmas presents into the car, finally got Gary to get out of bed get dressed so that we could be at Curtis and Annies by 6 to see the girls open their presents.  They had already began when we arrived, they still had plenty to open.  Curtis cooked bacon and eggs, then Pam and Judy made us waffles with mapel syrup banana and double cream, it was all delicious.  Later Fay and Roger, and Georgina,Andrew and their kids arrived. Judy took the family photo for me.

My twin sisters Pam has only just come home from hospital after a knee replacement.  She has some complications(pneumonia) being one of them.

The family, we were on Mum and Dads patio, it was hot even with two fans on us.

Gary and I enjoyed a wine or two.

Dad was still in pain from his back injury and had to lie down after we ate.

Christmas evening

Later after we arrived home Gary and I had a rest until Ben,Belinda and the girls came over, although Stacey and Jasmine were asleep until we woke them sometime after 6.

Oscar took off with her dolls hat, and Jasmine is saying 'please' to him.  Oscar would put it down and just as she was about to get it he would grab it again and keep just out of her reach.

Stacey wasn't worried about Oscar licking.

We had a very full weekend.  Maddys birthday party, the girls hip hop concert on Sun.
It was a gorgeous day for maddys party, afterwards I stayed at Curtis and Annies while they were at a wedding.  Got to bed a lot later than normal and felt yuk on Sun and the weather was hot and humid.  It was really hot in the hall for the concert, no air con or even a fan or two.
