Christmas 2015 was full of fun, family, laughter and love.
We spent the hot Christmas morning with the Excell family and then ventured over the border to Ma Ma's & Pa's for fun with the Heinrich's
Water fun was on the agenda, so it was time to strip off and fill those balloons!!
Lucy was content with the bucket....
"if I put my hands here I'm all in!'
Boxing day was at our house with all the Altus clan, Old Pa with all his great grandies
The next morning we packed up the car, ute, trailer and caravan and headed off to the beach!
No sooner had we unpacked it was time for the birthdays to begin....
Toby was first cab off the rank with his 7th
Tip truck cake
Checking out his presents....
Finished off the day with a pizza tea
Rent-a-crowd (aka us) went onto the next party....
Jacqui's 8th at the local park
As previously stated - the Altus Rent-a-crowd
Matt's milestone of 40 years on this earth made for the next celebration
A few days break then it was Relle's turn
Rounding off with Old Pa & Uncle David's
Amongst all the birthdays we filled our days at the shack with many an activity.....
Stories.....
Milkshakes
and more milkshakes....
Finding a pile of dust & dirt....
walks...
drives.....
more stories....
many a game of Uno
photo bomb Davy
Rory in the toy box
a neighbourly game of badminton between cousins
umpired precisely by more cousins!
Feeding the masses each night...
and a bit of down time before bed, ready to start it all over again!
At times it was chaotic, loud, noisy, messy, and at times outright bedlam, but we loved every inch of it and can't wait to do it all again!
