Luke's first visit with Father Christmas

Luke met Father Christmas for the first time tonight... we werent sure what to expect but he had a smile on his face and whispered to Jen Santa.. when he entered the room.

Not that the photo shows it with that who the heck are you look on his face..

Local Christmas Pageant

We wandered down to the local Xmas Pageant as Josh's Boy Scout unit was in the Parade this year. Thought it was a great little Parade put on by the local community and had that good old country feel about it.

The local Volunteer Fire Depts from various Towns, the local Police Dept, High Schools, Boy Scouts, Girls Guides, Football team, ROTC, Special Olympic athletes and various floats made their way around the local shopping centre here.

What's in store for Winter this year ?

Day time temps are starting to drop out there and we're experiencing a cold snap at the moment. Temperature here didnt get above zero all day and the current temp at the moment is -1C.

Was talking to a fella the other week who mentioned the Farmers Almanac predicted a colder than normal winter this year and sure does feel like it's come early at the moment.

Here's a video of our local weather guy and what he reckons is in store for us this year.
