This is a picture of John's Nativity set, a very nice one. Peter travelled to Atherton for Christmas. The deal was that his brother John has a couple of weeks off and Peter did the caring of their Mum. John picked Peter up at Cairns Airport on Christmas Eve and drove him to Atherton. So Mum had two sons about her on Christmas morning for present opening time. A nice memory.
Later in the morning, Peter and John took their Mum to Phil and Shellie's place for the Christmas lunch. Phil had slowly roasted a leg of pork. It was done to perfection. Harley though so if his looks are any indication.
After lunch, the family was able to Skipe with Bec and Gord at Gembrook. They found Barb there as well. So Peter and Barb were able to have a small shared Christmas moment even though they were about 3,000 Kms apart.
Later into the afternoon there was the traditional water fight between the people of the family and the backpackers who boarded at the vegetable farm nearby. They were from all parts of the world travelling about Australia. They all came with loads of buckets. The water supply, pumped in from the irrigation channel, did not come fast enough for the needs of this massive water fight. It was pretty fun though. Afterward there was a group photo of all the wet ones. Peter is the one in the picture with the whitest skin and John is centre back.
The next day, John left for Melbourne. Phil and Shellie took him to Cairns because they were going to look in the city for Boxing Day specials. This was the last time the three brothers would share the same time and space for this Christmas season so they stopped for a picture memento.
For the following two weeks Peter looked after his Mum. There may be a blog or two concerning this. It depends just how much time there is, given that a lot of other quite dramatic things have happened in the meantime.
