The year is drawing to an end.
There has been so much build up to Christmas and holidays. Lots of work had to be finished off before leave could commence.

| Work Christmas party number 1 |
We entertained homesick English visitors and tried to make the season as Christmassy as possible. I pulled together a Christmas Eve dinner and we wore paper hats and had a great time. I think they appreciated the effort and perhaps it eased the pangs slightly. The hot weather has really thrown them off balance, it doesn't seem like Christmas to them at all and it has been interesting to hear how things are different and some are the same. A cruise around looking at the Christmas lights was a highlight as well.
We enjoyed our family Christmas celebration today after a less frenetic gift exchange than we are used to, having grown up children changes the dynamic somewhat. It was lovely to have Hayley back in the fold.

Hayley withstood the barrage of questions about her time away and entertained us all with her witty ways.

Everyone gathered for their family shot and the big group photo taken with the timer

It was lovely to spend time with these goof balls.
