Sophia's 8th & Sage's 5th

This year we decided to have a combined, small birthday party for Sophia and Sage. It was still a lot of work, and next year we may skip parties all together and do something else.

The kids had a good time though on the beach of Tallebudgera creek - with egg-spoon races and rides on the kayak. After the birthdays is the official demarker to put up the Christmas tree. This year we got a real one, but it doesn't look like any kind of Xmas tree that I'm used to. It's some kind of Jurrassic tropical pine - not of this world. For Christmas we'll probably be at the beach again, trying to avoid the heat.
