Christmas Holidays 2014

Another Christmas has come and gone.  As with every year that seem to pass nowadays I'm surprised at how quickly it has gone.  This year has certainly been a big one.  As I look back I notice that I have not updated this blog since May this year and thinking of all the things that have happened I should have had many more entries than are there.  But I will not use this space for that suffice to say that it has been a very busy year.

This Christmas was spent at at my sister's place in Melbourne and I'll head back to Alice Springs next year.  It was a good Christmas with lots of presents, good food and family.  It was good to have Mum in Melbourne too for the lead up and part of Christmas day and it was sad to see her head home.

Max's 5th birthday was another highlight of my Christmas.  On the 28th we went to the zoo and had some of his impressive Olaf Birthday Cake.  After that we came home and watched Max open his presents and then had a fun time playing with all of them for the rest of the afternoon.

I also went out to visit Anne's Pa's farm and had a tour around the fields (paddocks) to see the sheep.  It is an impressive farm with quite a few sheep on it.  For the moment though the fields looked very dry and on the day we visited a fierce gale was blowing.  The visit to the fields, shearing shed, wool store and the homestead was very interesting thoroughly enjoyable.

And now comes the new year.  While I don't know what the coming year holds for me or others I hope that it is a good one for all.
