Surprise Christmas in Australia

This year we decided to surprize our families by flying down for Christmas.
The weather was fantastic and we had a great 2 week visit.
Here are some highlights:

3 Christmas lunches!

Visiting Gran

 swimming

 feeding a lamb...

 More swimming

Fun Farm stuff

Presents of course...

Bouncing

 Playing tons of cricket

 More bouncing

New year's eve dress ups

 Boating

 Wicked witch...

 More swimming

oh and Cirque Du Soleil... no pics sorry!
We managed to fit quite a lot of fun into 2 weeks.
Happy New Year!

 From this...

 to this in 24 hours!

It's cold!

Here are some pics from our cold December... leading into a cold January.
Since we were in Australia for Christmas it has snowed 3 or 4 times and hardly topped -10C.
No wonder the snow hasn't melted.
