After Barb finished a "half shift" at the hospital we picked up Dan and drove to Gembrook to share Christmas with the Funks. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable time with family for the rest of the day.
We even shared a video link up with family on the Atherton Tableland. A bonus was to see Peter's Mum (wheeled in on her wheelchair).
A further bonus was to see and chat with our son Simon. It sure was nice to see him. It was great to see Peter's two brothers and the other members of family as they came and went from the computer room up there.
Here we have Jethro warming to his uncle Dan. In fact, Dad was a hit with the kids. He had a ball and was really glad he came.
The highlight gift of the day was the one Bec gave Gord: a framed set of pictures of their three children when they were each about nine months. It was fascinating to see each one together like that.
The next little series of pictures show some of the gifts that the kids received and what they did with them later in the day.
Then there was the meal. It did not matter that we had it at 7 pm. It reflected our relaxed time we were having. The meal was had at the perfect time and enjoyed by all.
And for afters, Claire's special cup cakes came out, much to the delight of Piper and Jasper. The whole day was such a tonic. We needed a day like this after quite a full week of unusual pressures.
