Well that was fun...
Kieran went to Lazer Tag with Corey driving him. Glenys came for a week. Kieran hung out with Nadya a few times. We took Glenys to Ikea. We took Glenys up the Swan Valley and to Whiteman Park. Will had a sleepover at Roberts and they went to the Paddington Movie. Les took Glenys to Fremantle. Les, Glenys and the little boys went to the Camel Farm, Volcano Park and Belmont Pools. We played cards against humanity with Glenys x2.  Merenia had a concert for music. Les tok the boys to the Ray Owen for bike riding practice. Nadya came to watch Kieran's last game of summer Hockey- we all got Frozen sprites. Will had a year one and two class party. Merenia performed for the teachers with the Guitar ensemble. We went to Adventure World for the work family Christmas. Kieran, Nadya, and Cory went and watched Perth play Adelaide at the basketball. Tama had his last Storytime at the Library. We went and watched the LPS school concert. Will turned 7- Robert came for the day and Clare joined us for cake. We went to Carousel and the kids did their shopping and to Belmont for Santa Photos. Kieran went to Adventure World. The kids decorated Gingerbread Christmas Trees with Nadya. Looking at the Christmas lights with Nadya along for the ride. Christmas Eve water fight. Christmas. Playing Cards against humanity and skipbo with the big kids. Will had a swimming play date with Robert. Bel and Noah came for a visit. Merenia went to a New Years Eve Party at her friend Rhys' place.

Yum, yum, yum...
We had a yummy mixed up dinner- with Ikea Meat balls, cream puffs, and eclairs.  Ice creams from the Swan Valley Ice Cream factory. I made the Zumbo Chocolate Mousse cake. Fro-yo after the kids did their shopping. Roast Pork for Christmas Eve, the usual Christmas fare.

For you...For me? I got presents for Will and Tama in Brisbane- a Starbucks cup for Will and a little aeroplane toy for Tama. We scored some stuff from Ikea and The Scrapbook Store. We brought a new Christmas Tree because ants had moved into the Tree box. Santa Glenys gave the kids a bunch of presents. We gave gifts to the librarians, Mrs Miller, Pam and the Radices. Will got a load of presents for his Birthday. We all got a load of presents for Christmas. Nadya, Clare, Wendy B, Pam, Paula, Ella, and Wendy P all gave us presents as well. King size duvet and duvet cover!

Bugger!
Will came home early from school one day with a headache. There was a siege in Sydney and a gunman killed a couple of civilians.

Hooray!
Just about everything! We won six (small) lotto prizes in the month from Nov 29 - Dec 29! We got our Christmas Groceries delivered. Getting mail from NZ

Etc...
Tama had his first speech appointment. Summer Hockey finished up. I did a speech at the Leap Expo. I made Abba costumes for Will and Lucas for the School concert. Fire season has started with force including one at Falls Rd while we were at the concert. School broke for the holidays. I saw a rat in the backyard. Les had Holidays from the 24th on. Les and the kids helped put together the Nortons trampoline. The temperature hit 39 degrees. I discovered there's a girl called Gypsy in what will be Tama's year at school- weird.

Seen and Heard...
Will opened this and then carefully read Tama's 'writing':
"Dear Will, Happy Birthday. Love Tama xoxo"
Tama put his arm around him and said
"Good Work Buddy"

Tama to Glenys: "Now you be the stone guy and I'll be the Christmas lady."

Tama to Glenys: "Great Grandma... Aunty Glenys."

Robert to Will: "You do know that friendship is the most important thing right?"
Will: "Yeah of course!"

In the car looking at the Christmas Lights:
Tama: Nadya?
Nadya: Yes
Tama: Are you still there?
Nadya: Yes
