December, 2011
Yes, another Christmas! and we thoroughly enjoyed a great family day at Glenn and Jacque's in Brisbane. Glenn's family came up from Newcastle - his mum Laurel and dad Maurie, sister Nicole and hubby Greg and their 4 lovely children - Jessica, Elli, Wills and Emerson; Luke and Amanda came down from Noosa; Amanda's dad, Jim came across from Perth, and Adrian came up from Sydney. We had a great day - lots of chatter and good cheer and of course fantastic food! Thanks Glenn and Jacque - great hosts!
We all arrived Christmas Eve and enjoyed an amazing Japanese dining experience at Sono - Glenn knows his Japanese food and his choice of dishes were delicious. Thanks Glenn!
