CHRISTMAS DAY

at the Holmeses

 

WHIP CRACKING

AND

4WDRIVING

 

Abbi plays in the mud



 

Well, we don't celebrate Christmas in

the ordinary way.

Around here there's no presents, just

FOOD  FAMILY  AND  FUN!

 

This year we added in a little whip cracking

(thanks to Cam's new whip)

and also 4wdriving!!

(also thanks to Cam's influence!)

 

I have uploaded a short video below

of our whip cracking attempts

for you to laugh at:)

 

 

 

 

We drove out of town to pick up something

Dave had seen on the side of the road

(very common for us), only,

we got sidetracked down a muddy track.

 

We drove down to see the river and did

a little hill climbing seeing

the track was slippery.

 

 

I have uploaded a short video below of this

first driving episode for you to watch.

 

  

 

NOTE: I don't know why they call

it 4WDriving, as you only need 4WD

once you're stuck otherwise

it takes all the fun out of it??

 

Looking out our back windscreen

Once we were tired of hill sliding,
we tackled the muddy puddles.

 

I had a lot of fun videoing the comings

and goings. Especially Abbi's first attempt

at taking on mud!

 

I managed to hit a small tree but

mainly because I was trying to get

the old girl to go sideways

and Dave had given me permission

to be an idiot!!

 

What a laugh, slipping and sliding!

 

 

 Another Abbi splash

 

 

Please watch and enjoy the video below

for the full effect of our experiences!

 

 

As you can imagine,

by the end of all this, our cars

were filthy and so were we!

 

The reason everyone had one dirty arm

 

 

 

 

In this photo, Cam is not being gallant,

he was actually threatening to dump Lauren

in the mud, but he repented of the deed!

 

 

Not surprisingly, on the way home

the old girl starting making strange

and ominous knocking noises,

but she made it home anyway!

(This could well be her final farewell)

 

All in all, it was a great day.

 

We had our pastor and family over

that night for homemade pizzas

and delicious desserts!

(Lemon meringue pie, chocolate meringue

pie and frozen Tiramusu icecream cake,

not to mention Dr Pepper and A&W Root Beer!)

 

Hope you enjoyed another

day in the life of the

Holmeses (and Drews)
