As per tradition we again did a family Christmas photo this year.
We were running out of time, so it was a bit rushed getting it done.
We also tried to make one with a Karate theme. It is a nice photo, it just wasn't christmassy enough.

Kim had booked a Christmas show in the State Theatre. It was an okay show, but as she said, it was more for the 'dads' than for the kids due to the costumes.

We have been trying to encourage Aiden and Lucas to once in a while do the cooking. This is so that they know how to cook when they become older and adults.
Lucas is really loving it and Aiden doesn't really have the patience.

2022 was also the year where I finally got my Black belt in Karate (Sho-Dan - first belt).
I had to fly up to Brisbane for the grading/exam with the head of the Australian organisation.

This year Aiden was in the last year of primary school (year 6). This means that this was the year of his confirmation and also his graduation before he next year starts in high school.

One day in Denmark we went to Tivoli to see the christmas show.
Lucas got a ride pass so that he could jump on whatever ride he wanted, and Aiden was happy cheering.
We also saw the 'real' santa (Julemanden) and went past the Lego store.

While in Denmark it was snowing for a couple of days. The boys love playing with it.

On the first day after arriving we went past the little mermaid from HC Andersens story and also past the residence of the queen, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary.

This year it was my dad's 80th Birthday. I took the boys back to Denmark to celebrate with him. Aiden has been once before when he was 1yo, and it was Lucas' first time.
This lady used to be my dads babysitter when he was just born (she is 92yo)

Both Aiden and Lucas were playing soccer again this winter.
Especially Lucas is starting to get pretty good when he gets 'hungry' to take the ball.

This year we took the boys skiing for the first time. They had been practicing their roller blades at home to get used to the motion, so it was a bit easier to get them started on the snow. It was the first time for the boys to see real snow.
We went with another family and stayed at Thredbo.
It also happened to be on my fiftieth.

In mid July the instructors of the Sydney dojo planned to visit the Brisbane dojo. They encouraged me to come along as I will be up for the next big grading soon and it would be a great introduction to some of the best instructors and karateka's in the country.
I also found the official lineage of our style listed on one of the boards.
