Christmas Eve

At lunchtime Christmas Eve Tony picked his Mother up from Armadale...this is when she will have Christmas with us..which was at Nic and Sione's home....it was a gorgeous cool afternoon which made everything more delightful......All the children decorated a Gingerbread man. or star....some great designs...Kobi had everything on his plus he decorated the plate...the kids loved it as well as their Grandfather...he loves his sugar !!!!

Yes Tone!!! it was dripping icing and he loved every bit of it...

The Highlite was when Santa came...which was Rhys...he made the best Santa ever and of course he had help from Jazmin his Elf....He really did a marvelous job asked each one if they were naughty or nice and what they wanted for Christmas...I heard several times a DS! ...Then you would hear a parent say....sorry not this year....
Sione cooked a Pig ..which seems to be the Tongan way of celebrating Christmas...Nic has already been told that there will be one waiting for them when they arrive in Tonga early tomorrow morning....hmmmm lucky them !!!
Been thinking of them today as they make the big journey travelling there with three little ones...When I said goodbye last night little Pene said "I am going to miss you Grandma"...me to...but really happy for Sione he adores his family and of course they miss him..
Going back to Christmas Eve it truly was a wonderful afternoon......what would we do without Nic and Sione in our Family as they make these things happen.
