Holy cr@p, how did it get to be December?

Wow.  That whooshing sound you just heard was 2011 heading past you for the door.  Blink and it's a month since you've written anything on the blog.

While we're not quite at the point of reflection on the past year, a lot of things did happen that have slipped past me and I never told you about.  Here's a little selection, there might be some more coming.

Of course there were birthdays - Stephie had an under the see party with lots of little people dressed up as creatures that live under the sea.  Steph was a scuba diver.  Great cake in the shape of a sea turtle from Aunt Bink.


And of course, in our house, birthdays mean birthday pajamas.




There was another trip down to our favourite part of the south coast - Mystery Bay.  This time, we saw humpback whales heading back to Antarctica just off the rocks at the end of the beach.  It was incredible.





People also may have been turned into sand mermaids.



It seems this is in no particular order...
There was Floriade, Canberra's annual floral festival.  This is the first year I have missed nearly all of Floriade - what with being away and the weather being absolutely crap...  I went for about an hour to watch the children sing in the choir and that was it.  But took a few pics anyway...


In this post I showed a picture of this garden bed getting ready to be planted out.  Here's what it looked like in bloom.


There was a visit to the Lodge (the home of the Prime Minister).  The children decided a career in politics could be worth it, simply because if you make it to the top, you get a house with a really cool garden and a great slope to roll down....




There was much gorgeousness in my garden.


There was the first BBQ of the season.



And there was a wedding.  You've got to love a year that has the wedding of your lovely nephew in it.  It was beautiful.
