Eugene turns 9! and New Years eve BBQ at Jakkals' place

All I can say is "Unreal!". How quickly has 2016 gone. A lot has happened, and big parts of it were pretty tough, but as always, most of it was filled with fun, friendship and blessing from Above. We are thankful.

As opposed to last year, this year we decided to keep New Years eve low-key and it was relaxing. The worst we got up to was hunting bugs to feed Greg and Briar's spiders ;-)

Next morning we were up early, as somebody had turned 9! Yah! I think we were up well before 7am and we were "on duty" at church too, so no excuses to sleep in. Gene really loved his Millennium Falcon, and these toys now even come with Nerf launchers. Pretty clever idea really, and that old pile of space-junk can make the lounge-to-bedroom run in under 8 parsecs!

The girls talking about girl-stuff ;-)

Briar with her top-notch trifle, which was superb!

The morning of 1 Jan; Eugene's Birthday.

Yep, Star Wars, what else?!

A really cool toy, with cool sound effects, Nerf gun and it opens up to reveal the inside of the ship.
Imagination is the only limit, which means that in Eugene's case there is no limit.
PS: Thank you everyone for the FB birthday wishes.
