Pa kvallen var vi och tittade pa alla juldekorationer/jul lampor. Det ar en tavling i Brisbane och vi var och tittade pa nagra av de som var med i tavlingen.
In the evening we checked out some of the houses in the Christmas lights competition

Hmm, inte sa bra for miljon att ha sa manga lampor direkt
It is not very good for the carbon footprint to have so many lights

Layla i sin pyjamas. Hon vaknade nar vi kom till det hus som vann tavlingen. Det ligger inte sa langt ifran oss. Det tog ca 30 minuter att se allt och det var massor utav manniskor dar. T.o.m polisen holl koll pa trafiken. Vi var ju inte de enda som ville fa lite julkanslor.
Layla in her pj. She woke up when we got to the house that won the competition. It is near where we live. It took about 30 minutes to see it all. The police had to be there to look after all the traffic. We weren't the only ones in other words, that tried to get into the Xmas spirit.

Det fanns t.o.m. en puma som lyste...och nu pratar jag om den i bakgrunden
There was even a puma that was alight...and I mean the one in the background
