Well another year has passed. One wonders where the time is going.

With Michael off at the mines working I had to put the tree up myself..At least a few beers to get the job done.

I planted some sunflower seeds in the hope they would grow as a tribute to a friend I went to school with who's wife died of breast cancer. Well a few grew and only two survived as the others were eaten by little green hoppers. The back garden where the bromeliads are is getting over taken with them, so a wheel barrow full of them got transplanted out the front with the two sun flowers.

After Christmas a trip to Ipswich to catch up with Kiara for her birthday and the family for Christmas.

A picture of the girls.	Time to put up the tree.	All decorated.	Flowers for Gai from Michael.
.	Making some more space for Gypsy.	.	A wheel barrow full for the front.
Time to do some gardening.	All planted and mulched.	Another treat for our baby.	Prawns and salad for lunch.
Chocolates for Gai.	Clive gets a special card.	And a real meerkat picture.	Safely on the wall.

Kiara's birthday present.	Smile Kiara.	Allyssa struggles with her present.	More Lego.
.	Finally getting this paper off.	Allyssa gets a book & Kiara a big 5 card.	Money from Nan in Adelaide.
Now for the Christmas presents.	Paper was going everywhere.	Little bricks & big bricks.	Kiara putting her people together.
Two people all done.	Crystal helps Allyssa with her castle.	Alister & Kiara building her shop.	Kiara wearing her crown.
An hour later the shop is completed.	.	The sun flower starts to bud up.	.

Heaps more buds growing.
