Christmas 2024
Fairly quiet Christmas this year, Amy was no feeling very well. We did get the dogs some Christmas outfits. Lucy wasn't very happy about being dressed up, Hugo just took it in his stride. Here is Hugo as a Christmas Elf- super cute! That ended up being Lucy's outfit and Hugo was Father Christmas.
This year in Canberra, our church was sponsoring the Giving Machines, it was the first time they had been in Canberra. I did a shift at the Canberra Centre on the first day it was opened on November 28th. It was pretty quiet, people getting used to the idea. It was a chance to donate to some local charities.
On Amy's birthday, we headed over to Bindi's and decorated Gingerbread Houses with the Sarah McCallister and her girls and Tara and Anna Scott. Poor Amy was not well, but just glad to be out and being distracted. Didn't get many photos unfortunately.
We headed over to Bindi's on Christmas Day for lunch and had a lovely day. We were supposed to have Abby and Lachlan over on Boxing Day but they had COVID, so that happened a couple of weeks later.
On the 27th December, I went up to Sydney temple with Bindi, I was doing my first shift as a temple worker. My brother Kim and his wife Fil, were up from Melbourne, we caught up with them at the temple and then for dinner at Castle Hill. Saturday 28th November was the day for my first shift at the temple but also 60 years since our family was sealed in the New Zealand temple. Was lovely to be at the temple to mark that occasion.
We got to see the Christmas lights at the temple, they were lovely.
