We've had our Pageant.
Another fabulous community event.
With lots of local floats, lollies and good cheer.
It's such a lovely way to get together as a community
and celebrate the start of the Christmas Season.
It's become a tradition to put our tree up after the Pageant.
Heather was fascinated with the process.
All the decorations from years past were hung with lots of talk about their history.
" I remember ..." was said frequently.
Very few of our ornaments are shop bought.
Mostly they have been made by the kids in years past.
And here is the little Geek.
Heather managed to snaffle both ipads.
One she had iview on and the other she was playing the new ABC Kids app.
She is a whiz with an ipad.
Not a lot crafty going on here.
I've been baking lots of Gingerbread and eating it too!
I've been swimming a lot, which makes finding time to run difficult.
Rose and I have been to two swim meets this season..
Rose keeps beating her personal best times.
I'm slowly improving my technique.
The kids are all out swimming me.
Many of the kids I train with, I taught when I was relief teaching a couple of years back.
It's nice to spend time with them again in a different context.
The kids are been great in accepting me as a fellow team member.
Our swimming club has such a lovely supportive and friendly atmosphere.
