First Christmas Day In Oz

For Christmas the Davie Family went to Mum's cousin Tina's house in Brisbane. The guests were: Us (The Davie Family), Tina and her husband Tom, and Granny's younger sister Marion and her husband Jim.
Tina and Tom have a dog. His name is Charlie. He is around about 11 months old. Marion and Jim also brought their dog Bella up from Armadale. Bella is about 4 years old. They are both very well behaved although Charlie is quite CRAZY and gets up to a lot of Mischief when it comes to running around and playing fetch. Jess and I were both happy to play with them at home and at the park while Mum and Dad chatted along with the other Christmas guests and the hosts.
Our lunch was Jam Packed with delicious foods that everyone had helped to make. We took Fruit in a big Red bowl, drinks for Jess and I to have while the adults had their favourite kinds of Wine and Beer, and just because, we took some Presents for Tina, Tom, Marion, and Jim.
For Dessert we had all kinds of Exotic Fruits, and one of the YUMMIEST PAVLOVAS I HAVE EVER TASTED, and a couple of Chocolate Coated Peanuts. Mmmmmmmmmm!!! After dessert Tom showed me one of his AWESOME electric Guitars!!! I had a turn on it even though I was very nervous. Tom is a VERY good Guitar player. I want to be like him when I am older. He started played when he was about 10 which is my age.
Soon after that we Slipped, Slopped and Slapped our sunscreen on and off to the park we went.
On the way to the park, I got to lead Charlie. He got a bit worried when we went through a Tunnel, but then he tried to get off the lead when he found that the park was in sight.
As soon as I had had a go on the swings (Dad was pushing, and I was worrying!), I took Charlie for a run around the field. He totally LOVED the run and took me for another one.
While Jess was running with Charlie, I played on the Pedal Powered Spinner with Mum. It really cool, but also a bit freaky when you were with Mum. You went soooooooo fast that it nearly made you fall off!!
On the way back, I took Bella. Marion was helping me because Bella is quite a strong Dog. Since I was getting pretty good at Dog walking, Marion let me take Bella by myself.

My favourite parts of Christmas Day this year were:
Playing with Charlie!
Eating the DELICIOUS DESSERT that Tina MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Playing on Tom's AWESOME GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and
Meeting all those people. (I did meet Marion when I was 6 months old. But I don't remember that!!)

Love Alicia.
