Merry Christmas!
My dear, beloved ladies. For wherever you find yourself in the world for Christmas, I hope it's happy, joyful, delicious, peaceful, and reminds you of what's good in the world.
Christmas Day has just finished for us here--Luke and I are settling down to some TV on the computer (we were lucky and nabbed the spare bedroom before his siblings and their spouses got it), after a full day of family, swimming, and incredible amounts of food. It was about 25 C this morning, maybe a bit warmer, but has cooled down and is raining a bit due to monsoon weather. It's hard to complain about the rain in Aus though, since the continent veritably soaks it up like no other.
I may miss my family, but it was a beautiful Christmas and I'm so fortunate to be where I am. I hope you two enjoy your Christmases as much, and know that I'm thinking of you and sending you love. And your significant others, too--Alaina, I think I found a long lost sibling of Ashton's in Luke's brother-in-law, Chris. They'd be like two peas in a pod. :)
Last but not least, a photo of the Freeman family (and extended family), courtesy of an iPhone... other photos coming soon too. Love!
me, Luke, Luke's mum Kerrie, Auntie Di, Uncle Wal, Narni (grandma) Judy, cousin Tom, cousin Lucy, bro-in-law Chris, brother Jesse, sister Sally, and granda Walter (they're the grandparents who own the place at Pearl Beach!)
