Our Happy Little Vegemites

Oh my gosh, our house looks so so pretty!!!! Penelope is epitomising our excitement here in this photo. We are all decorated up, despite the Awesome One's head shaking and muttering that "it's only November for crying out loud!"  We don't have Thanksgiving here in Australia - if we did I'd wait to decorate. We do normally wait until December 1st, but excitement got the better of us and so we decided that because it would take a few days, we'd jump right in. And so we did.  AND IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!

But of course persistence paid off and I got there in the end! (Well, bar one compulsory unit but I'll worry about that later!).  Anyway, it's all done now and I'm all enrolled. And I won't be the only one in the family...
