Day 69 (Sunday 24th December) Christmas EveDan's mum Jude and husband Bob had us over for a Christmas dinner.

Dan's folks really made an effort for us and even even gave us some prezzies...bless!We passed the rest of the day just chilling back at Ria and Dan's and their mate 'Prok' came over later that ev...
