Christmas with my family (2)


Just before we left for Perth, my family & Tania’s parents caught up for a lovely lunch at “BreakPoint Bar & Grill” in Burleigh Heads:

Christmas with Tania's family (2)


A few days after Christmas, we caught up with Tania’s Aunt, Uncle & cousins.

Christmas day was spent at Tania’s sister’s place with her brother-in-law’s family.

We continued the theme for Christmas – turbans for the men & dupattas for the women:


Loving the turbans !!

We even got a turban the baby



Christmas Day with Tania's Family


Christmas day was spent at Tania’s sister’s place with her brother-in-law’s family.

We had a bit of theme for the party – all the men had to wear turbans we’d bought in Old Delhi (much to the amusement of the shop owner) while the women had to wear dupattas (also bought from the same place).

Everyone got into the spirit of things & a good time was had by all:

Love the turbans !!





The dogs got their own carry bags - that's "Gary"

Christmas with my family


On Christmas eve, Tania & I met up with my family for lunch. We hadn’t seen them in two years & it was a great catch up:

Indian Wedding

The night before Tania & I flew out to Australia, we went to one of the weddings (there were three) of Tania’s Executive Officer’s daughter.

We would have loved to stay longer but we had a plane to catch early in the morning.

Here are some photos from the evening:

All dressed up...

...and with somewhere to be
