Or rather, it has felt a lot like Christmas - during our stays at the grandparents in Oaklands Park and Marion we managed to have five different Christmas celebrations; as well as catching up with family left, right, and centre...
...Trin and Ven did a lovely job of decorating the Bean garden for our last ever Christmas at this house...
This paper has been going for at least twenty-five years... aah, the memories!...
...presents, making music together, and viewing random Christmas clips on YouTube make up some of our day...
...and it's all about family...
...then on to the Woodley family Christmas and seeing the cousins for the first time since Brisbane...
...and then Boxing Day brings another round of Beans...
...we do love family...
P.S. this could well be the last time we see this unbelievable year's growth of beard)
...then to the park with the junior Beans...
...and next on to the senior Woodleys - Grandpa and Nanna - for some more Christmas cheer...
...complete with the usual celebratory items...
...yes, we very much love family...
as on Christmas they wouldn't stay still long enough for a photo!...
*Happy Jesus' Birthday*
Postscript: it may appear from our last post that our home is in Marion... on the contrary we will be moving into a home on five acres near Normanville and Yankalilla, and minutes from Carrickalinga beach at the beginning of February! But arriving 'home' to the grandparents (both of whom live near Westfield) was supremely exciting and rather surreal all at the same time...
One year ago exactly we started this blog...
Twenty days before that we started our Travelling Sabbath...
Twenty days ago we completed our Travelling Sabbath...
World wide web - the travelling Woodleys are home...
Stay tuned!...
