Katy Graduates!

As the year comes to an end, we had many functions/ parties and gatherings! First was Fun Night at Acton, where the 4 and 5 year old children who are leaving the centre stay back having fun until 8.30pm. They make their own dinner of pizza, fruit salad and ice cream followed by playing lots of games.

Andy, Ella and I took the opportunity to go out for dinner, meeting up with Susie, Patrick and family at Edgars in Ainslie. Our pub meal was nicely complimented by an ice cream all except Mia who chose frozen peas as her dessert from the local IGA!!

Back to Acton to pick up Katy and we were treated the the best part of Fun Night - the fire show put on by one of the carers and her husband. With the children safely tucked inside behind the glass windows, Mark and Pixie perform their tricks! Mark breathes fire like a dragon and waves a fire sword around, while Pixie very cleverly twirls firesticks. The children watched in awe and made some pretty funny observations and comments.

Next we attended the Acton Childcare Christmas Concert and Graduation Ceremony. Katy joined her fellow Kanooka classmates and sang several songs including a few in Spanish before receiving her graduation certificate and packet of seeds.

Yesterday was Katy's last day of childcare...yipeee! She took in home baked chocolate chip cookies. We are blessed that our children have attended such a fantastic centre with so many wonderful carers, children and parents. However both Andy and I are extremely excited to complete this era of our lives and very much look forward to having two girls at school.
