The kids were well rewarded at their end of year school presentation. Neah receiving again a Principals Award for exemplary behaviour for the entire year, Marilla for careful craft work and Olympia for excellent tracing ! Next year - oops, this year (!) they are all starting at a new school, we are moving along up the road a wee bit to Trinity Anglican College. lots of reasons, the positive ones being that there is a strong possibility of Trinity sending a school bus out our way ... fingers crossed .. & Olly & Rilla will benefit from being able to go in separate classes. Will be rather different - quiet I guess for me with all the children of at school, is their a word for that - empty nester or something ??
Had a very happy xmas. Christmas day was lots of fun for the kids, & feasting for us adults! The kids were duly paid a visit from Santa & are enjoying their new toys, littlest pet shops, polly pockets, an ant circus, a couple of 100 piece jigsaws (which I hoped would fill in a bit of holiday time, but they can get them done in next to no time lol ) & various bits & pieces. I was spoilt with a new camera, a pretty little pink Nikon. small & light enough to hang out in my handbag, no more missing those impromptu shots :) .
So here's a few pics .
Neah & Brad . Neah's 1st Mini Cooper :)

Ahh yes - the feasting .. well, was a combined effort & produced spectacular results, Anna, Anthea, Rach & myself each took a part of this menu

highly recommended :)
The last evening of 08 was a wonderful end to the year, wednesday night fellowship meeting - subject : peace . Then went round to Rach & Gregs spent a wee while there then left the kids to play and Brad & I went to our neighbour, Tracey's 40th B'day for a bit then back to Greg & Rach's to see the New Year in & watch the fireworks from their verandah. Late night - but a goodie. !
Spent a bit of time catching up with an old friend, Carine who's 'home' with her brand new hubby Lyndon for xmas. Yay ! wonderful to get to know Lyndo better, and forge new friendships !
starting to ramble now ... better stop :)
