Christmas Day..

Our 'kiwi' Christmas had finally arrived and I was so excited!!

The weather didn't start with a cracker but that didn't dampen my spirits, Dad had got up early and set out a volley ball court, rope side lines and chalk score board.

Once Mum and Grigoria were up then we sat down for a quick breakfast before Paul, Liza and the kids arrived with their Santa surprises!

Cameron came running in with a small electric stock car set, Roslyn had a new talk & eating doll called Sally....’toys these days’.

So we sat down with Dad (Grandad) handing out the gifts to everyone, the surprised faces was fantastic for Grigoria & I.

After all the presents had been opened it was time for the Gray family Christmas lunch.....colds meats, salads, good home cooking and time with everyone was we'd been waiting for.

As the day progressed so did the volley ball games, the style was some what interesting, the rivalry and tension grew, it was all in good fun.

With more family members arriving late in the day it was good to see so many cousins, Aunt's and uncles.....al and a great Christmas day.
