So this is Christmas....

The tree's up, the pressys are nearly all bought, the kids are being good and the decorations are all around......

I bought this a couple of days ago.....I try to get one new display thingy each year... how cute is the ho ho ho......



the good ole Fisher and Price raindeers and santa are always a hit however they all seemed to grow a bit of extra fur while in storage this last year...... best I be giving them all a bath....



so.. we went from this...



to this ... not a bad mornings work ... however Shane was in charge of the music and we ended up decorating to the lovely tunes of 'Creed' ... not exactly Jingle Bells but at least he hung around inside.....



as for what we've been doing .... the kids are still at school but we spent last weekend ....

at the markets.....



at Black Head beach pool....



making sand castles at Saltwater....



and participating in Santa lookalike contests....( this is quite a laugh .... we got all the kids to paint beards on the face with vasaline then they had to dunk their face in a bucket full of cottonballs to see who could collect the most and have the best looking beard)




oh and look whos got a new good looking haircut....



should be back soon with the first couple of pages from my dec journal....
