December 2015 | The end of the year approaches....

 In the lead up to Christmas we always seem to get very busy... especially when we are heading off on a holiday (as we are doing this year)...

The month kicked off with a birthday party at indoor rock climbing... Keira started off a little hesitant... But very quickly got the hang of it...

 She then proceeded to get a little addicted to the thrill of the climb and didn't want to stop!

 The girls had been pestering dad for quite some time to let them make a fairy garden... well dad finally gave in and took the girls to Bunnings to buy the supplies... here's the outcome...

Complete with washing line and swing, house and garden.  Quite a setup for the lucky fairies.  Dad's contribution (forever the practical one) was the "tree", being a chili plant!

 The girls negotiated a new pocket money scheme, complete with performance bonus...

A day at the movies...

Keira lost her first tooth... and was very proud of it!

And then it was on to the end of school.  Keira graduated from Kindy to Year 1!

And Claire graduated to the Primary school, with all the bigger kids.  She was also awarded a school medal for Achievement throughout the year.  Making two parents extremely proud!

 And lastly, it was onto the Christmas Parties (which were held a little early as we were flying to Bali for Christmas...  Firstly the Sefton bunch...

And the North Rocks bunch...
