Night was descening upon the Woronora River. So it was time to eat.

On a night like this, it's better to have the children tired when they head for bed to overcome the excitement of the next morning. And Mel Cuisi dropped in too - a nice treat for us, epsecially the boys, who enjoy having a new person to play with.

And as the night wore on, it was time for Jake to prepare some food for Santa, who obviously needs refreshment on his arduous journey.

Jake is showing how many more "sleeps" until Christmas - just one more, the hardest one of all. The glass is water for Santa in case he is thirsty.

The "goodies" for Santa included a home grown (by Cameron) tomato - I'm sure Santa really appreciated that one.

And so it was time to head on home - for me this was still with Peter and Yvonne at Illawong - for 2 more "sleeps"!
