Here are a few (okay... more than a few!) pictures to illustrate our Christmas this year - hope you enjoy!
This is our tree at about 8:30AM, after a leisurely breakfast, about to start the present-exchanging... |
Matt (with awesome bed hair ;P) opens a gift from his family.
|
My (equally) great gift from Matt! :D
|
Turquoise jewellery from Matt's parents to me.
|
(I also receive gorgeous pyjamas from my Mum)
|
Matt on the phone to his family after breakfast and presents.
|
Meanwhile, Jesse finds a cosy nook to relax in.
|
Matt takes my picture as we head to a restaurant for lunch (celebrating with my Mum's side of the family)
|
(The most important part of the menu... of course!) ;)
|
My brother (Chris) gets festive - amusing in itself because his head's so big that hats don't normally fit!
|
Chris takes this picture of Matt and I in return (his first time using my Nikon).
|
(Mum and I)
|
My dessert choices (I wish I could have fit more in, but there was SO much food on offer at lunch!)
|
Mum and Lyn (her sister; anyone doubt which side of the family I got my curls from?)
|
After lunch, Matt makes a tabouli-inspired salad to take to a BBQ later in the day.
|
(Meanwhile, I arrange my homemade rumballs onto a festive plate)
|
Later at the BBQ, the cousins and partners catch up, play the Wii and eat more food...
|
Lyn's gorgeous Christmas table... she always has such attention to detail, not wasted on me!)
|
(liliums and gerberas form a table centrepiece)
|
(more centrepieces; my favourite photograph from the day)
|
Lyn and her partner David, exchanging words.
|
Mum
|
(A family picture - Mum, Chris and me)
|
(some shots of Lyn's beautiful tree, decorations in hues of pinks and purples)
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, arriving home to our colourful tree, ablaze in rainbow lights... a great day (though sadly over!)
|
 |
These are really great photos, very colourful. Matt has very clean feet! ;)

Your first Christmas as a married couple. Maybe next year there may be an addition to the family? Great post.

20 and 29 are most definitely in my favorites! It looks like you had so much fun, and the food looks delicious.
