Christmas day

This is taking longer than I thought to document, life gets in the way of blogging sometimes.

Christmas morning showed that Santa had indeed found us, and excitement ensued. Rob and Elisa don't wrap most of their presents, preferring a santa sack for each child so there didn't seem to be much under the tree. And our gifts were chosen with the space limitations of the car in mind, so no bikes or big items.

Still, there was certainly enough for everyone to be happy with, including this little pile of fat quarters for me, a gift from Rob. Elisa said he took ages to pick them out at Spotlight, and he did a pretty good job. At least four of them are going straight into a project I'm cutting for, so he chose well.

As an aside, there were two of these patchwork chairs in the lounge area, and the fabric is actually pieces sewn together, not printed. I loved them, and they were surprisingly comfortable too.

Sam had set a beautiful Christmas table for us, including Christmas crackers and we had a combination of hot and cold meats, roast vegies, salads and various treats. Followed of course by pavlova and cheesecake....

After lunch we watched movies and everyone collapsed and chilled out.  There was a late afternoon swim for those who felt like it, but I was content to read my book and  have some quiet time.

It was certainly a christmas day with a difference.
