OS winterfest...2006

It was great to have the family together for the Winter break...

It was a very green Christmas this year... and I'm not complaining.

We all played, ate (too much!), talked, laughed and generally spent time

re-connecting..

I would have liked more time with my daughters...and I guess that's a good way to end a visit...

Jannah is constructing a Christmas Cracker...puzzle...! Sarah is spending some time defying gravity.....

and try as I might...I couldn't suspend the ball....

This is me relaxing with my buddies, after a busy week.... I'm slowly loosing the feeling in my legs though....

Everyone took photo's over Christmas except me...and these few ended up on my camera...hmmm.... so I'd like you three to send me any photo's you'd think I'd value...from this visit...OK?

Joanne and Doug came up for a short visit on Christmas day ...and then went on to Jennifers..new home.

Here's Sarah and her friend Mike....don't they look exhausted?...they did very well to arrive on Christmas eve day...and have all their gifting completed... We were #2 on their family "visits" list...

As everyone...slowly left to return to their busy lives elsewhere..... The house became quiet ... It'll take me a while to get used to that again...
