Happy Birthday Elliot
Once again, it has been a while since we've celebrated Elliot's birthday at home! In the past years, the lucky child has celebrated Christmas in New York, the French Alps and the Caribbean! It was time to resurrect the traditional boxing day BBQ at the Albany's. Malcolm has painstakingly prepared satay skewers of all sorts...pork, beef, chicken, kangaroo, duck. Elliot has had a great year achieving in sports and music as well as scoring the role of the scarecrow in the Yr 6 productions of the Wizard of Oz! Here's to a great start to high school Elliot!

A Big Day Out
As part of our "See Sydney" campaign, we embarked on a journey to the city with the children. We had Merlin Passes to utilise! The Merlin Pass is a single pass to several city attractions which we bought on a special. It was our chance to visit Madame Tussaud's, an attraction we've never been to.
Initially wary (for how much fun could one have with wax figures?), we did end up having fun! It is small though, and would not be fun if there were big crowds.
Conveniently, Sydney SeaLife Aquarium, another attraction included in the pass, was right next door. Although we have been here before, it remains one of Jonah's favourite. We strolled to the nearby, Home Thai for lunch. A quick tasty lunch was needed. We had to get to the Sydney Opera House for an important occasion. Uncle James was running the Sydney Half Marathon to raise funds for autism awareness, and we wanted to support and cheer for him at the finish line.
