December!!

We started the month at Catherine and Glenn's for a fun dinner with friends before Tim and Jen moved to the Wairarapa.

I took the girls to "Family and Friends Day" at Crossfit and after a great workout I managed a selfie with Katie. Meggie was there but she wouldn't get in my photo.

My great friend from Mercy Ships days passed through Wellington for a few hours.  Teresa. her husband Mark, and I caught up before I went to Carol Service at Old St. Paul's.

Getting ready to decorate our tree.

All done!!

Meanwhile work has started outside - demolition of the deck.

And delivery of our storage container - kind of scary!

I needed to move Meggie's car the day the storage container was delivered - and guess what?  Dead battery. AA to the rescue, new battery delivered and installed within the hour. 

We had the cutest boys working on the house - our builder hired a bunch of seniors from Scots College to help with the excavation and Katie made the most of every opportunity to bake for them and make morning tea.

Delivered!!

Josie and friends hanging out before yet another dance.

From the school website - Katie and her championship handball team.

Josie performing in Midland Park.

Ellie and her hip-hop crew performed as well.

Josie also did some hip-hop in the street at the Christmas carnival.

Things still going at home - they are digging a moat around the house and taking off the cladding.

Katie baking again - this time Oreo truffles for the party we're hosting for our friends to meet the Martins and Samantha.
