Christmas in Cambodia

After a busy year and with the weather turning shite in Hanoi we decided to head to the beach for an Aussie Christmas - only we Aussie Christmased in Cambodia. It was fantastic, and our previous trip there in July meant we knew where to go, what to do and this made the whole time there so much easier and more enjoyable.

Good friends from Hanoi made it to us in Sihanouk Ville for Christmas and we spend Christmas morning opening pressies with the kids, then swimming at the beach and having a very very relaxing arvo with about 10 people chasing after the kids on the beach. Nicky and Prawn juggling for the kids, Shaun chasing Tom and Claire with the ball, big Clare, Tammy and I sharing some well deserved drinks. Clare then organised a proper Christmas dinner where we managed some how to fit some Turkey, pudding and more drinks in. The plan was to party on that night - but we were soooo exhausted we called it an early night.

Fantastic Christmas

Tom and Claire are 2

Tom and Claire have had a busy end of the year. They finished their first semester of school and even received school reports - I think that was a little over the top. They had their birthday party in Hanoi with some friends on the 14th December with some little people. Our neighbours Viet Anh, Giang and Dui came to the party, as did Hannah and Abby, Brandon and Keona, Neil and Kelly, Donna, Jeni (many thanks for the games), Nadia (many thanks for the face painting). A feast of sausage rolls, ANZAC bicky's and a Lamington birthday cake were served.
