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!

Merry Christmas

It has been a while since we've celebrated Christmas at home. With Malcolm's mother in hospital after spinal surgery, the celebration was low key but special nonetheless. A family lunch at Brian's consisting of food brought back from Jakarta as well as home made satay was not what you'd call traditional Christmas fare but it was no less delicious.

Hope...is what we have with the birth of Jesus

We've finally managed to find the more pieces for our nativity set

I guess the message got through...
