The Doyle Show

This year we went to Dublin to celebrate Christmas with the whole Doyle family. It was a special time because not only was it the first time we were all together but also it would be the last time we had Christmas in Dublin. The house was sold the following year. It was a great time and Santa was busy!!!

For this episode we took a few days off and went to some lovely places around Kansai. First stop was Banpaku park were we had a great time playing and relaxing. We then we to Rokko Farm on Rokko mountain. The sheep run wild here and there's lots to see and do.

This is a montage of the best and funniest moments from our trip to Ireland. We stayed in Wexford and although the weather started badly, it picked up and we could even go down to the beach. Great BBQ's and beer.

A short skit with Grandad at his creative best to entertain the kids while the rest of us look on. Good on ya Grandad!!!!

For this Christmas , we finally bought a tree and the whole family joined in putting it up. Shannon did a lot of the camera work for this. Once the tree was ready, the presents started to arrive and then on to the big day itself.

Both kids now have a bike. Shannon takes on the challenge of riding a bike without training wheels and Rihanna tests out her new bike.

A trip to the zoo is always fun. Today the kids got to touch a rabbit and guinea pig. But they soon got tired of the animals and so we spent most of the time in the amusement park. Great fun!!

It was the kids School Sports Day and both Shannon and Rihanna took part. It was a good day, singing, dancing, games and walking on stilts. The climax was the relay.

Nana and Grandad came to visit. We took them to a few of our favorite places in Osaka. The weather was prefect and everyone had a great time.

It was a Toy Story Christmas this year. The kids favorite movie trilogy influenced the presents for this year. And Santa delivered!!!
