And here’s to 2013. Cheers. *clinks glass*

Wow, Christmas came and went in the blink of an eye! And now it’s 2013. How did that happen?

It’s been the good sort of crazy-busy in the Banya household these last few weeks. There was these advent calendar stockings hung…

Quite a few batches of gingerbread biscuits baked (and eaten).

Can you tell which one JJ decorated?

Lots of red and green Christmas gift wrapping paper painted. (Usually the paint goes on the paper…)

Attending local community Christmas shindigs, with Bee showing off her embellished Christmas outfit.

Some outings started with all smiles…

JJ and Mr Banya

…and ended in the back of a paddy wagon!

We took a photo with Santa

And again. But hang on, doesn’t this Santa looks a bit familiar? But she still wouldn’t sit on his knee!

JJ was part clown, part Santa’s little helper….

This would have been our Christmas card, if I’d gotten around to getting any printed this year. (Number #1392 on my to-do list…)

We made our own felt Christmas decorations.

And got called a Ho my some dude in an aeroplane.

And lots more that I didn’t get a chance to take photos of.

And now that Christmas and New Year’s has been and gone, and we’ve launched off into 2013…

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading Danya Banya. It means the world to me. For your support. For your liking and commenting and sharing. For your encouragement and feedback.

Here’s to 2013. Cheers. *clinks glass*
