Christmas and other news
Oh wow, I keep promising not to neglect my poor little blog, but somehow life just keeps getting in the way and before I know it, a month has whizzed by!!
Been flat out. Work was crazy before Christmas, but we had a lovely time on the peninsula for a few days in mid December. The weather was really crappy so the kids didn't get to do much beaching, but it was nice and relaxing to be away together anyway.
Christmas was good, we went to my parents for lunch, and Gerard's for Tea. Lunch was lovely, Tea was awful...and I'm not talking about the food...entirely.
The kids were spoilt...well Tegan was anyhow! She got a new bed, doona cover, converse shoes and clothes. The boys got some lego and woodworx kits, and a slip'n'slide for the back yard, which has been a total hit considering we have been on water restrictions since they were babies, so they don't even know about sprinklers!
My birthday was on Sunday, and I got very spoiled. Gez got me a Pandora charm bracelet with two charms, and my brother and sister got me a charm each too! I love it, and chose gold and silver. I mostly wear gold, but the gold charms and bracelet cost a mint, so we went for cold and silver mixed. My mum brought me a gorgeous heart pendant which is also gold and silver with a diamond. I felt so spoilt!!!We went to Beechworth which is my favorite place to visit for lunch and a wander about, and then came home for a BBQ with friends.
We have another extra at the moment, he's 19 months, and with us for a week on respite. He's awfully cute, and has attached himself to my leg almost 24/7!! Looking forward to catching up with our friends Charmaine and Leigh tonight for New Years.
