Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.....

Just a quickie to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and best wishes for the following year..... for those that usually get a card I am very sorry but I just didn't get there this year .... I promise to be a better friend next year....

We've had a fantastic day .... Regan woke Aaron at 5:30 and the day began ... the kids were very pleased with all they received (except Aaron and his towel - not overly impressed by that one)...... My brother-in-law proposed to his girlfriend (she accepted).... lunch was at Karens place where the kids spent the whole day in the pool.... and we have arrived home with a rather inebriated dad who is now sound asleep ....the kids and I are finishing off the day watching Ever After - I love this movie.....

PS: Dad - I'm up to page 41 in our book and am learning all sorts of stuff.... will be a pro in no time.















The kids got a bike this year.. - Aaron will ride it tomorrow- .... he's not sure about the fact that it has two wheels .... Regan on the other hand has taken to it like everything else she touches lately and suprised me again by tearing around the backyard within a few minutes of getting on it..... when did she grow up so much??




Merry Christmas
Leah

My little surfer chick

Regan had her first surfing lesson on sunday and blew me away with how quickly she picked it up... she had a ball and after two hours I had to tell her to come in because the instructor was getting tired.... She loved it and I can't wait to see how she progresses over the holidays ... looks like we'll have lots of days at the beach this summer.

We had the shed/garage/scraproom/spareroom wired up last weekend and shane told me that he had to dig a hole and track the old power so it can be moved for the pool we are hoping to put in this winter .....



to me, this is not a hole...... as Shane was dissapearing in his 'trench' with a shovel he exclaimed that I have no idea what he does at work..... he could be right.



The kids are pretty happy about the holidays....



This is India, Aarons buddy this year... at the end of year presentations all the yr 6's gave their buddies a tree to plant at home... so sweet I thought, now if only we can talk him into planting it in the garden and not outside his window.

and this is the calandar Aaron gave to his teacher for Chrissy this year.... and absolutely loving the paper.

What the?????

Aaron was playing with the tree the other night and knocked off this little angel ... we heard something break but couldn't find the missing piece ... and honestly couldn't work out what on earth it could be....the kids had no idea why we were laughing so much .... and of course when we found the missing piece it was quite obvious to Regan that the appendage was the angels arms.



Movember is finally over ... Yeah..... and my gorgeous hubby has returned to me ... he's gone from this...



to this ....



much better in my view...

I've started the chrissy cards now however these are all for the mother in law to send .... mine are looking like being a bit late this year ... time is just disapearing on me ... how I miss being a stay at home mum....



I even failed to get the yearly kids chrissy photos on the weekend.... Aaron was just not receptive to the idea ... this one of Regan is one of my favourites ..



and to finish off just a couple of pics of the kids for Grandma and Grandpop ( Aaron has just informed me that you get capitals because you are important).




Till next time ...
