We got home last night at around 7pm, and promptly crashed out. We were very fortunate as it didn't rain at all whilst we were away, and the roads were all clear from floodwaters on our journey home. We did go through some rain around Moree, and saw lots of water on either side of the road, but we made it home without any drama.
We had a lovely time away with B's family. We were soundly spoilt with Christmas presents, and it was lovely for B's parents to have both boys there at Christmas for the first time in about 13 years!
B's family is German, so we had our big 'day' on Christmas Eve night, and then journeyed over to B's brother's place for lunch with his family on Christmas Day. It was lots of fun to be with our niece and nephew as they received their presents - the wonder of Christmas through a child's eyes is very special.
We also got to see a lot of the surrounding countryside whilst we were there. Trips to Beechworth, Bright, Falls Creek, Rutherglen, Milawa and Omeo were also included, and B even got to places he'd never been before (despite living in the district for 22 years!). We sampled a lot of the gourmet produce the area is renowned for, and also came home with a supply of Brown Brothers to keep us going through the festive season.
All in all it was a lovely time away, and very special to be with all the family once more.
