regeneration: a christmas journal

Some really good times have been had in recent days ...

When Zac, Jan, Heidi and Alex picked up Johanna from the airport on Christmas Eve, they sent us a 'we'll be there soon' selfie. So those of us waiting for them (Me, Rache, Maria and Cass) sent one back.

... and when they arrived we got to our Christmas Eve tradition and made ravioli for dinner.

Christmas lunch with the extended Duthie clan at Michael and Anna's where we wrote on T-shirts for each other.

our outdoor table has got a decent workout

Heidi brought down a tie dying kit ...

... we stood around and offered commentary whenever a new piece was unravelled.

loved having the Wongs around

... and in between catching waves, now that Maria and I are back on our own, the Boxing Day test sits on mute while we graze on a feast of summer reading.

probably the most colourful family shot we'll ever take!
