The Season of Giving!

Not only have we found ourselves a wonderful little friend-fam over on this side of the world, but they have gotten us involved in some great causes. This month, we attended the annual AIME Gala (AIME is the organization that provides educational support to indigenous teens. John ran for AIME in "City2Surf" and I ran around in my bikini for "Strut the Streets"). It was a "fancy dress" event which does NOT mean dress up fancy... it means dress in a costume. That's important information that I'm glad we clarified beforehand :)

Our table went with a 70s theme!

















We also had the annual Dance Chance concert!  Dance Chance is an organisation founded by the sweet Timmins Family. It is a weekly dance class for people with a disability. The annual concert is such a highlight. 



Of course we celebrated after...




We kept the giving going with our 2nd Annual Australia Friendsgiving! Nicole and Jono were great hosts.. and Nicole's gravy...oh em geee!














In other news, Adobe did a beach clean-up day in Manly...




We went on a walk with the Germans... 


Rudy is still cute...


I had a baby! JK lolz. My coworker did. And he is the CUTEST AND TINIEST THING!


We went to Mumford & Sons in the rain...

 The Manly Christmas tree is up!


And Fran is getting yoga teacher-certified (so we get to be her students)!


Also... it's Thanksgiving and this is what I'm looking at:



I think expats should get American AND Australian holidays off work!
