New Year's Eve 2010

Image by Leorex via FlickrFor the first time since we emigrated here, we didn't make it to the harbour for the 9pm family fireworks - sorry kids. But we did hear them round friends here in the upper north shore!

Recorded both sets off the tv - might even watch them!

December 15th was Amelia's birthday - twelve 6 year olds running around the garden and using the bouncy castle we hired for the day. Alas they got bored (and hot - fair enough) after about 30 minutes! Lemonades for all later and back on the castle.


One of the Saturdays before Xmas saw the yearly trip into Hornsby's David Jones for the Christmas Photos with Santa. First in the queue (good!), there was little time for A & C to get wound up about seeing him and thus straight into the grotto. And for the first time we didn't have any tears. Although it was difficult to get Callum to actually look in the direction of the camera.


One night before Xmas, we got A & C ready for bed, and then into the car to see the various xmas lights in the area. a couple of large 'installations' in West Pymble, as well as a couple on the next road up (Hesperus Street), but nothing on the scale of Borgnis Street (which we didn't make this year).


Xmas day dinner was a starter of pesto prawns (done on the bbq), followed by steam salmon, then a snooze. Weather was warm enough for the first time to actually get into the pool on Xmas day. How Australian ;-)
