Merry Christmas!

A Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives

Our "first" Christmas in Manly, Australia

Since we could not be with you all, we thought we would share our Christmas with you through pictures.
Merry Christmas everyone!


Our 1' short plastic tree

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Our Stockings

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

Our inflatable Santa

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

SaraGrace blissfully awaiting Santa

The children were nestled all snug in their bed,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.

Christmas message from SaraGrace:

Merry Christmas!!!
We really missed being with you all this holiday!!! Hope you enjoyed the gifts that we sent home with mom. I sure wish I could see your smiling faces when you opened them!
We had the traditional Keenans Christmas Eve dinner-Shrimp Cocktail, Crackers and watched movies-sorry Dad they did not have our traditional "Better Off Dead"at the video store :(

Luv to you all!!!

Michael displays his Christmas happiness


Michael shows off his new hood

Christmas message from Michael:

Hi Guys!!!
We hope you all enjoy your presents, and we're sorry that we not there to see you open them (Although Dad cheated and already opened his!)
We had shrimp for dinner last night; and lobster tonight (I know Mom, it's not the crab you usually do, but it's close!)
Someone tell Chris that now that he has a computer he had better get email!

Love,
MRA
