A party

 Yesterday the night stitching girls had our Christmas party. We enjoyed the most amazing high tea at Margaret's place. We also exchanged lovely gifts which were all well received. 

Just a few pictures of the boys and their tree etc.

Lots happening

 The time in December is flying by with decorations, parties and lots of preparations. I have decorated early as the Perth family arrive tonight. The beds are ready and we are looking forward to seeing them. Here are some of the decorations.

On Wednesday at stitching at Beth's we enjoyed seeing her gorgeous displays!

The end of the year has been busy for the family. Jack received an award and the other boys did very well too. Alice performed lots of times at her end of year concert in the band, class item and the choir.

Jack's team also won the Floorball competition.

The miss also performed in her first piano concert.

Family

  A few weeks ago we had a lovely lunch with the Ma and the oldies in the family. It was great to chat and see each other. 

Then a few of the other family members enjoying some adventures. Lyndal and Alice had a lovely weekend in Sydney with friends and a few of the boys at a variety of activities. Jack also had a great birthday party at a pool.

Lyndal and I also had a great night out seeing Tim Minchin! It was amazing.
