I have to admit it's weird being in 106 degree heat on December 8. It just does not feel like Christmas. We do have a decorated tree (we brought our fake one), our creche has been set up and our stockings have been hung by the chimney with care. But instead of reindeer, we have kangaroos.

| Creche is from my nana. The lizard gives it a nice 'Alice' touch. I don't think Jesus would mind. |
Katie arrives on Saturday, then Megan the following Thursday. It will feel a lot more like Christmas when we are together. Then all four of us head to New Zealand for two weeks of cooler temps, glacier hiking, bungy jumping, helicopter rides, canyon jet, seafood, water, and green vistas.
Critter update! It's cicada season. They have been singing their song up in the trees all over Alice.

| 'Super M,' the mighty cicada! |
Meet Paolo, our polka-dotted kitchen ledge lizard. He kept me company while I was COOKING DINNER. (yep, I'm still cooking!). Paolo hung out on our ledge for about an hour and a half. He nicely stayed outside while I was inside. I like that in a reptile. The consensus is that he is a baby
perentie.
