Christmas at Grandma & Grandad's - Part 1

Grandma and Grandad had a very different Christmas this year! Why you ask? Simply because, since arriving back in Australia, Grandma and Grandad had no:

• Car or place to house it,
• Lounge or dining furniture,
• Bed to sleep on,
• Fridge or freezer,
• Washing machine or clothes dryer,
• There was no TV set to be seen either
• nor a house to live in.
  
  

But Santa came to the rescue!! Most of the presents were delivered and installed, put together or both, prior to the BIG day! Thanks Santa!

Below are some of the items that Santa left behind for Grandma and Grandad to enjoy:

A 'brand new' lounge suite, entertainment unit and TV!

A 'brand new' dining room and dining suite!

A 'brand new kitchen' equipped with new appliances!

More Presents

Now that things have settled down (just a bit) I decided to post some pictures of some of the wonderful gifts Grandma and Grandad received.

My own Grandfather had a 'ship in a bottle' very similar to this and so this particular gift has a place close to my heart.

Below the ship sits a metal 'bicycle' which is built to house a favourite plant - in this case an African Violet.

Closeby, seated aloft the same carved wooden stand ... a majestic eagle - a present from a few years back.

Still More Presents

Well pictures don't lie ... Santa definitely made it to Chile - South America! Now that's an activity desk, doubling as a computer desk. The 'laptop' is a 'child friendly' early learning device - which means that mum gets HER laptop back!

I would have given anything to have one of these as a kid ...

A 'play gym' to be shared between brother and sister.

Cute enough to be a 'present'!

A 'swing thing' - Matti loves to 'feel' her feet. This should keep her amused for a while!
