A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my showcase followers, I hope that yours is Happy and Safe.

My Dad

I received a copy of a photo of my Dad in a Christmas card this year from a cousin of mine, which prompted me to scan it and do this layout. I feel compelled to scan all my old photos to preserve them for posterity. I have aged these three somewhat, to make them blend with each other better, although they are still pretty old photos, dad was born in 1910, he would be 99 now.

Christmas Flo

Since we put up our Christmas tree this year, Flo has staked her claim under it. She can be found here at any time of the day or night, incognito under the tree, pretending to be an ornament or part of the village set up around the train track. We can't run the train as she will cause a derailment lol !!!

Crazy Hair Day

Zach had a Crazy Hair Day at school, to explain, the children come to school with a crazy hair do, and pay a gold coin for the privilege, the money is used to raise funds for various activities around the school. On this occasion it was for the year 6 Farewell.

Drama in the Backyard

Oh what high drama it was getting the Christmas Photo taken, Ivan just would not co-operate, then he started fighting with Zach over the pose, and all hell broke out. We were trying to get the four of us together in one photo. The camera was on the tripod and was set to time lapse to take the photo, but Ivan kept on buggering off out of the frame. In the end we gave up and I put him in the picture in Photoshop Elements !! Thank goodness for that program, it makes life a lot easier !!!
These are some of our good shots and some of our worst.

Us

Ivan and I posing for our Christmas Photo, but I couldn't resist putting my Jacaranda photo in the LO as well, I just love those trees !

Mummy's Boy

It isn't hard to tell who loves his Mum to bits !! Tassie Lassie : you will get the joke in the smaller picture.....it is a Tassie thing......! ! LOL We're of Tasmanian descent and proud of it HA !!

Kogarah Jacaranda

One of my walking buddies showed me these jacaranda trees in a Kogarah park, Ivan and I went back there and took this photo. How majestic do those trees look, all standing in a row ? !!

Stegosaurus Feet

I laughed till I cried at the way Zach could spread his toes !!! Little Mr Stegosaurus Feet !!
