Santa hats on the gatepost

Last year Maree had the good idea of putting Santa hats on the gateposts, so we did and I loved them. So much so that I snavelled up 4 sequined hats after last Christmas to have ready for this year. As we were celebrating a Christmas visit with Rick it was a good time to decorate the gateposts again. So Tim, Georgie (in Christmas skirt) and Maree started on this one...

Rick tackled this one himself while Penny and I took photos

Georgie and Uncle Tim put finishing touches with tinsel on this one...

And then the three wise monkeys sat on the fence! Oh yes, they are all true Davidsons!!!

Rick's Christmas visit 2008

Our eldest son Rick has been living overseas for over 7 years now, but he tries to come home for a visit somewhere close to Christmas. This year he came for 2 weeks at the end of November into December which was great because Nana (Melva) was also here for a visit from Qld and his sister Penny and her kids, Georgia and James were able to visit then also, and younger brother Tim was home from Uni.
James had a good time playing with his uncles, here he is with Rick (apologies for the quality of the photo, but it was too good a smile on both not to use it).

And we had the usual bbq on one of the only days that was warm enough at Silver Creek.

And the week before he arrived it was Rick's birthday so we had a Christmas dinner and also a birthday dinner.

Georgie is the best at helping you blow out candles, unwrap gifts and overall have a fun time! One of Rick's famous poses for the camera!
