Here’s what Instagram reminds me that I did in December. December? Wasn’t that, like, a year ago???
December begins with a quick work trip to Melbourne for a shoot.
Which beats the rest of my working life, which generally looks like this. Oh, another meeting, what a surprise.
But it’s Christmas all around, so how can we be anything but joyous?
Admiring DJs and a random store window…
One of the many festive gatherings we… gathered at was an early Christmas lunch at my in-laws.
Buon Natale!
And then it’s holidays and we’re off down the coast to Gran and Pop’s place.
The local skate park gets a work out.
I highly recommend using the skate ramp as a slippery dip.
Outta my way tough skatey kids, my trike is coming through!
No doubt about it, kids are never happier than when they’re in water…
… or lounging in their homemade cubby.
Christmas day was a cracker. My whole family was together – nine grandchildren (aged seven and under) and nine adults (aged under seventy). I mainly used my ‘real’ camera, so Instagram only captured the tiniest peek.
Aside from Christmas, the biggest news going in December was a certain haircut. Hello face, I missed you!
I won’t even ask you how your December was… how can I possibly expect you to remember back that far!
Kymmie says
Oh, I love your December! I must try to do this too. And yes, it was forever ago. And that haircut – to die for. Sounds like new ‘dos are the way to go at your place!
Thanks for the sneak peak of your December life. xx

Deb @ home life simplified says
That first photo is just gorgeous!! (and what is that dish of food in the last row of Christmas – i want to say figs but i am probably wrong)
CottonAndCard says
My children began using a skate ramp as a slippery dip once too, and they were having such a great time that before long ALL of the other children at the park had abandoned the regular playground and joined in!
Love your use of Instagram!
Kelly says
Wow what an awesome December in pictures xo
Vanessa says
Phew where did December go? and I thought that was supposed to be the crazy time of year? My January is eclipsing that but in the bestest, funnest way.
You have captured happy, family memories. I am loving collages at the moment.
Nat - Muddy Farmwife says
Lovely lovely photos!
Especially love the haircut, there’s something about a short haircut on little girls that’s so very cute.
Kim H says
I know, it feels so long ago now, doesn’t it? I love the way you’ve shared December. I must do this more often – I love the collagey look and Instagram is sooo cool;)
That trifle looks flipping amazing!!! And the hair cute – so cute! Looking forward to your January collage:)

Tat @ Mum in search says
December is a bit… last year, but what a collection of memories!
Megan says
Looks like the perfect December, minus the meetings of course!
And what better use for a skate ramp than as a slide! I have fond memories of doing this when I was younger. And I still see it at the local skate ramps in country towns over here. Not so much in the city though! (Mores the pity)
Jess@Diary of a SAHM says
I love how you have used the same filter for similar pics. I never do that, but it’s such a good idea, cause these look fantastic!
•´.¸¸.•¨¯`♥.Trish.♥´¯¨•.¸¸.´• says

(ps – what program did you use for the collages ?)
Georgie says
