Up to Dec 2015: Baby Birthdays, Baptisms, Dress-Ups, and Christmas
Neko's Baptism in March was a family affair, with the Polish-American grandparents joining us in Brisbane:

Father Jan uses the new Christening mug |
|
Neko is fascinated by the Baptismal Candle

|
Ewa and Jan came from Denver, USA for the ceremony |
|
Formalities over, time for fun... |

The Christening gown has been handed down in GirlRob's family |
The football grand final in September featuring the North Queensland Cowboys was a chance to dress up this year's crop of babies in support (and obviously a factor in their winning!) "Cowboys are my team, and we'll take 'em to the top....".
Father Jan officiated at Jenni and Neil's wedding in 2013, and Fletcher's Baptism in 2015:

Dressing up in the outfits Nanna bought from the hill-tribes on the border of China and Mongolia - before she knew about any of these potential grandchildren!!
