Christmas in Thornleigh, part 2

These ones are more the family portraits.
The first time we've had so many from the one family together!

Here is the complete 2nd generation. Left to right: Brett Ian, Tanya Louise, Paul David, Graeme Neil Mackie.

The complete 3rd generation (so far), not without some duress. Isabella Svalbe and Sean Robert Mackie at the back, Carlos in the middle, and an unhappy Aidan Bruce at the front.

The 3rd generation again, happier with Grandma around.

The 3rd generation again, with Dads. Brendan and Isabella Svalbe; Aidan and Sean with Paul; Carlos with Brett.

The 3rd generation again, with Mums. Tanya and Isabella; Aidan and Sean with Paula; Carlos with Laura.

All three generations, complete for the first time.

Another view.

The most prized present of Christmas Day for Sean: Thunderbird 2.
Virgil, Brains and Gordon are probably inside...

Aidan playing the drums very seriously.

A Xmas weekend with Simone, Steve and Allie in Newcastle (Dec 2005)

(Clicking the pics will show them full size...)


Allie biking, Sean pillion. Two pics here, because Sean is smiling in the first, and Allie is smiling in the second. Never work with children or animals...


...Although this one of Aidan alone disproves that rule!


Nature walk. Allie and Sean discuss important matters while strolling. (Headless) Simone, Steve and Paula ahead, top right.

A caption would add nothing to this picture...


A nice Xmas pose.

Boating at the Royal National Park, mid Dec 2005

Mum and Dad took it in turns to paddle the boat with Sean, while the other looked after Aidan on the shore.
