Dec 24 - Matthew's Birthday

Most of my family arrived in Melbourne yesterday for the Christmas break, with only Greg, Andrea (and lately Lena) missing from the party. Christmas preprations aplenty were going on today for the big day tomorrow with 21 family members for lunch, all to be fed out of my kitchen! But the most important event of the day was Matthew's birthday and we celebrated by having lunch at a local restaurant. Food and company was great and enjoyed by all. Evening was followed by more food and wine and Christmas carols, expertly accompanied by Justine on the piano. See photos coutesy of Matthew & Justine's website.
