It's Christmas night here in the southern hemisphere.   I'm pretty sure I say the same thing every year.   As not to break tradition... This was the best Christmas Ever!    It was truly brilliant. Here are a ton of really random pictures from the past couple of days. Bulls-eye~ she's so cheeky Angelina became the mamma of 3 last Saturday.  {Fiona lent them her pink teddy}.  One Zombie Eating Brain three zombies eating brain yes he did.  what a fun guy. Christmas Eve thank you santa love she bought him a tape measure he liked it Ry got a waffle maker.  (I've yet to find frozen waffles here)   The Guys waffles were divine! Scooter rides.

I'm pretty sure all I did was blink and the school year was over. I am so proud of the progress these two have made this year! Their reading & writing AMAZE me!  I knew they were smart cookies but I never thought in my wildest dreams they would be where they are today. This year has been huge in all of our lives.  For Reed it has made the greatest impact.  We were so worried about his social skills and once again found we worry too much about him.  He's a popular dude among his schoolmates.  His teacher told us, the number of children from all the prep classes that requested to be in Reed's class next year was astonishing.  I'm so proud of him for all the anxieties he's overcome.

In that setting it didn't bother me either.  All the cafes and such are open-aired . Love that!  I wish I had better captured our shoes in that photo.  Can you see them lined up at the the very bottom of the picture?  Thais think it's disgusting to wear shoes inside.  Even at the local service store there are shoes lined up at the door to remind us westerners to take off our shoes before entering.  {It really does make sense.}  Yet another reason for a pedicure. Let your smile change the world but  don't let the world change your smile  I'm madly in love with this guys new smile.   I'm trying to get as many pictures as I can while it lasts.   Quickly the top front are sliding into place.
