Haha wow how old is the child?? My mother could not get me in a Santa photo for my life

They are 13, 15 and 17 and that was the 15 year old . Have never missed a Santa photo and never had one they complained about being there. I'm planning to see how long I can keep it going lol

My just 17 yr old (well technically 16 for another 10 days) had one with 8 of her school friends too. That one was funny

Treasure every minute. Our youngest just finished her HSC and two of her class mates were involved in a head on collision yesterday, only 8 days after getting her P's. Sadly one of the girls is deceased . Makes you realize that even those teenage shrugs and glares would be sadly missed.

Oh how heartbreaking. Mine has just got her L's but some of her friends are getting their P's and she thinks I'm being silly not letting her in the car with them till they have been driving for a few months. Even then it will only be short lift type trips till they have a lot more experience. Those poor parents :-(

How did she go in her exams? Is she off to uni?

Haven't had her results as yet, but she is having a ' gap ' year to pursue her riding ambitions.
When I was 15 two of my class mates were killed in a car crash and it had a long lasting effect on me. Unfortunately things aren't looking good for the other girl, going to be a very sad Christmas for both families I fear.
Our 19 year old daughter went to Victoria to collect her car , after it had come accross by rail from WA. She sailed back on the spirit last night and said that on her road trip down from devonport all she could think of was Louise.

Good morning Friends

Oh my Fancy that is just awful at any time of the year but if possible, even moreso so close to Christmas

chicken-clucky that is a nice sized egg from Molly.

appps love the Santa picture tradition.

Plans for today? The bare minimum .. today I am going to have a day off, in the garden with the gals.

I figure seen as hubby and son are both out of the house on Monday and Tuesday, those are the days I will mow the lawn and do the housework .. today and tomorrow, relaxing.

While not serious enough to separate her, we have our first ‘injury’ in the nearly three years I have had chickens. I noticed on yesterday’s free range that Blondie’s comb did not look quite right and on closer inspection, someone has given her a good peck and she had some blood in her head feathers and at the base of her comb.

Luckily it is in a spot that does not draw the attention of the others and she seems to be OK about it all but I will be keeping a close eye on her.

I suspect it was KiKi who is taking the ‘moving up the pecking order’ just a little too seriously.

Being on holidays means that I will be able to keep a closer eye on them and they will have more supervised free ranging so, while I am not impressed and KiKi is on thin ice, Blondie will have extra space to keep her distance and heal while I make sure no one makes it worse.

While even slightly entertaining the prospect of rehoming KiKi makes me so very sad, if she keeps this up I will have to consider it .. I hate seeing any of my girls being picked on and definitely do not like them being injured. Also, KiKi is the noisiest and most demanding so yep, thin ice

That is terrible --- such sad sad news. Shocking for family and friends, and now the second girl is in deep medical trouble ?. A ghastly Christmas for all concerned.

And I agree with appps --- in having some rules and regulations as to young folk travelling with new L or P drivers in cars.

Personally I think they should all be made to go through an advanced course in defensive driving. These courses are available --- but where I don't know. There's one in Victoria I do know exists.
