Kersdag viering en kuier by die Aussie Van's

So, na amper twee jaar se wag het ons uiteindelik vriende kon oornooi om by ons die dag te kom vier.  Die Here seen ons elke dag en ons is dankbaar vir die vriende, kos, weer en vooreg om die oggend nogal in Afrikaans te kon kerk hou. Hy is ALTYD goed.

Soos gewoonlik volg hieronder somer 'n streepsak vol foto's. Ek het nie "captions" by almal gesit nie, so geniet maar net die kiekies.

Weereens 'n Geseende Kersfees aan almal wat die blog dalk vandag/more raaklees. 2016 is amper op ons, en ons wens julle almal geweldige voorspoed toe vir die nuwe jaar en al sy dinge.


The bit die kids just CAN'T wait for...cute as always.



Jakals prepping the prawns, with help from Karin, with the boys looking on.

Even now, still don't know what it was?

Two Chooks in the left, two Amelia Park roasts and a smoked ham in the right.
We also baked two breads and 12 jacket potato's in them too, with only Greg's
prawns going in to the house oven.

Baie mooi tafeldoek en stoel versierings my liefling. X

My favorite photo of the day.

A sharper one (with fill-flash), but I love the blurry one.

Kersdag kerkdiens by Deo Gloria Rockingham - 2015

Was vanoggend lekker vroeg op om gou dinge by die huis, en toe die kerk,  reg te trek. Dit was 'n goeie diens, 'n treffende boodskap (it's not your life after all), en lekker sing en met vriende saamwees. Wens net iemand wil daai "snake" reg insit ;-)

Hier is 'n pano so 10 minute voor die diens, en een in die diens self. Oor die 200 mense hoor ek. Altyd lekker met 'n groot groep.



Die orkes en sangers besig om te oefen voor die diens.

Louis...was sou ons sonder jou en Cornelius maak? Al swart merkie is daai snake....

Behind the scene's :-)

Lily's Christmas haircut

Less than a week before the big Christmas get-together at our place and we've given Lily her haircut, and put up the gazebo to make sure it still works, as we last used it at Point Walter many moons ago.

Everything is ready...

Some bits being wrapped, while I was outside trimming Lily's coat.
She had a Johnson's baby shampoo bath earlier;...ja, lekker bederf.

Ready for next Friday (ougat brak!)

First day of leave - Relaxing and camping (at home)

Aaah, leave...needed it badly. We are definately just going to relax as much as possible. As a family it's been a hectic, eventful year, so the Christmas break is what we need.

Some pics below as usual.

Good times! Spiced Gold for K, Jack for me...

Gino testing his new Nintendo games...

Karla having a 2-hour nap before dinner - Weber chicken and home-made bread.

Now does this look lekker, or what?

Xmas light reflection on the Weber dome.

Eugene explaining the technicalities of Skylanders (or Avatar).

Mmmmm!

Eugene, keeping my place warm while I tested the hiking tent and self-inflating matress.
