Fairy Lights!!

The street BBQ on Friday night went really well. Everyone had a good time - all the kids left at about 11pm and the last of the adults left at about 1am. A lot of nice food was consumed, with way too many left overs!

Saturday evening was Andrea's work Christmas function, which also went well and was enjoyed by all. We really enjoyed the luging up the Gondola and the food is always good. The weather was awesome with a spectacular sunset to top it all off.

This morning (Sunday) we got up bright and early and headed out trout fishing. We brought home 2 rainbow trout and released a number of brown trout and quinnat salmon. We went further than we have gone before and came across this waterfall.
We also saw a number of whitetail and red deer - right down by the lake having a drink, some only 20 or 30 feet from us. In all cases we weren't quick enough to get a photo before they bolted back into the scrub.
This afternoon (after a bit of a nana nap!) we decided to continue Christmas-ing our house. We got the idea on Friday night when all the kids took a special walk to go and have a look at one of the houses in the next street that is all lit up. So our first lot of fairy lights have now been installed around the verandah. We're considering leaving them up all year so we can turn them on when it snows :-)

We've decided not to buy any more lights. We think we've got enough...
