This page is just telling about the christmas and New year period coming into 2002. During the few weeks there was alot of of family that visited and we all had a pretty busy and fun few weeks.

Overall on both parties I'll just tell you the highlights.

Aunty Polly:
Such a great organiser got everyone into gear and made sure the parties went smoothly always making sure everyone was alright. And she is always the life of the parties with her wonderful singing and dancing abilities. Thanks Aunty Polly.

The Flower Power Tent:
This tent housed many of the kids whilst these functions were on. Infact I think it hosted way too many of the kids at certain stages but yes it came in very handy as all adults were comfortable in the house. The children got to know eachother much better by all being inside this 4 man tent. The tents greatest night is when it held: Sharla, Tyler, Lawrence, Barry, Sharon, Sasha, Jodi, Ashley, Ricky and myself. At least we were all warm aye. Very memorable. How sad that Me, Shar and Jode are still fitted into the Kids catorgory...shame.

The Cam Corder:

Caught some extremely funny and important moments which will never be forgotten. With jodi's famous is my face red from earlier in 2001 was now converted to "LOOK AT ME, SHARLA LOOK, LOOK AT ME" Jodi is a winner.

My Dad:
His famous "you's are all eggs" whenever he walked past Jodi, Sharla, Sharon, and myself. And he's constant support and direction did really help us.

The Boil Ups:
The only meal that was definatley on the menu, it was always a huge as pot will plenty to feed everyone. The yummy as porkbones, doughboys, and potatoes. Some of the kids had complaints that we were fed too much. Never.

The Parking:
Our front lawn was easily converted into a car park for about 20 or so cars. The only problem was finding out who borrowed who's car, where they went, and how long they'd be. And the main question Were they sober? hahaha. Yes everyone's car's were returned and no one left Ninth Ave drink driving.

Uncle Shane:
Uncle Shane is well known for being a quiet sleeper when he crashed in the flower power tent on new years. He took up one section by himself whilst Me, Jodi, Sharla, Sharon and Tyler were in the other side. Enough said.

The Trampoline:
Where all the kids found entertainment, although alot of arguements broke out because of it. All was eventually sorted out. The tramp was also used as bed for some people and remember ONE AT A TIME. Which never happened there was always like 5 little ones all up there at the same time. Just as well the uncles never saw hahaha.

The Bushfires:
The Bushfires were fairly close by and everyday we'd awake to a smokey and hot day. At stages we could all see the fire closeby but thankfully we were never in any danger.

Pa Mai Boxing Day: Aunty Polly, Aunty Liz and Aunty Sandy performed 'Pa mai' it was so worth recording and I even made them a Mp3 which u can download right here. So click there and download it the hear the aunties!!!!
