In my quest to uncover the most coveted gift items this Christmas, I thought it would be most negligent not to ask for a kids' perspective! After all, primary-school aged kids really are the true experts on all things Christmas. To help me on my mission I have enlisted the help of two of Sydney's coolest kids - Lana (10) and Scarlet (7) Marshall (otherwise known as Liane Rossler's kids!).
Lana and Scarlet have each submitted a fabulous lolly-coloured Christmas wishlist... they seem to have conferred on a few items - I am guessing there is a fair bit of lobbying going on in the Marshall-Rossler household this year about a PET RABBIT! I have my fingers crossed for you girls!
Huge thanks to Lana and Scarlet for sharing their brilliant wishlists with us, to Liane for organising, and to Ian McPherson and LMNOP for the beautiful portraits of Liane and the kids at home. I am convinced Liane is the most photogenic person in Australia.
