Christmas @ Sunnyside

Well we finally got here! After packing everything the weekend before  Christmas, shopping for Christmas lunch on Monday, Tuesday, moving on wednesday, unpacking on Thursday, cooking on Friday! 


This is the family on Christmas morning. And it is the excitement on the kids faces that make it all worth while.


We had a beautiful Christmas, with family coming and going. My dear Mum was with us for a few days including Christmas morning which the kids loved, but she has gone back and it feels strange to have her so far away.


I loved having my family here and to see a house that can actually function as a house should and be able to entertain and hold a number of people at one time! Shamrock Street really didn't do that very well at all.


We have just about finished unpacking and the house is looking nearly normal again, NYE passed us by which was an unexpected blessing. 


Jem and his Dad have undergone a new and exciting challenge  which is quite exciting, so stand-by to see it's unavailing soon!


Happy New Year Barwon Heads! 

T'was the week before the week before Christmas...

Hero will finish her first year of school this week, and what an amazing girl she is becoming. I got such a kick when i saw her card to her teacher which she wrote all by herself.

Banjo finished up at 3 year old kinder with such confidence and enthusiasm. He has come along way from the start of the year too.

It is the last week in our West Brunswick house, and i am having mixed feelings. This place has been really great to us, and to be honest, it has only been since Iggy arrived 10 months ago that we are really busting at the seams!

We have a really lovely community here, and i think i have the best neighbor's in the world, which has had a really big impact on my life in this house.

Also my dear beautiful Mum only lives a stone throw down the road and is always there when i need her.

It is these reasons that i feel sad to leave, but it is these reasons that will be awaiting me and on my return.
