Day trip to Surveyors Bay !!

We headed to Surveyors Bay today to spend the day with the Thompson Family.

With showers persisting at regular intervals during the morning the kids (Fuzz, Laura, Chelsea, Bree, Heath, Nikki, Faith, Sharna and April) spend some time indoors playing with their Christmas gifts, but when the sun came out (after lunch) they headed to beach for a dip!!

When the sun was out it was quite warm and there was no need for warm clothes, just a hat and sunnies.

Bree was lucky enough to find a small seahorse in the shallows and after showing all the little ones, placed it back in the water for safety.

We had the best day - thankyou Carol and Ken for your hospitality and also to Lisa, Tracey and Shane and families for your company xx

It's Meg's Birthday Today !!!

Today is Meg's Birthday !!

We had a lovely morning tea (Meg, Bree, Chels, Fuzz, Gus and Beth) to celebrate HER day and then she had a lovely time riding her new scooter and playing with her Bopit.

Happy Birthday Meg xx

Christmas Day is here - FINALLY !!!

Wow - How exciting !!!

Christmas Day has arrived. Our girls (Chels, Fuzz & Ash) were all up very early and begging Ian to don the Santa gear and start handing out the pressies from under our tree.

We all received some Fantastic Gifts and we then tucked into our warm crossaints and ham followed by plenty of cherries for brekkie - YUMMMMM!!!

We prepared for our day yesterday by getting meats, vegies and salads ready last night (Christmas Eve). When Ash & Steve arrived and unpacked their gear we split into teams and played a game of Pictionary. Teams were: Ash, Steve & Chels v's Ian, Lisa & Fuzz. Team two won convincingly - WE ROCK !!!

Chels then decided to put on our Santa Suit and danced around the loungeroom - we were all in stitches, she was soooooo funny !!

I've attached some photos from last night and this morning's pressie opening and brekkie - let us know what you think.

Merry Xmas and Enjoy your day xx

End of 2008 School Year !!

Chels' finished Primary School today.

She attended the Grade 6 Leaver's Dinner last night at the New Norfolk Golf Club. Apparently the night was action packed and she was looking pretty good "boppin'" on the dance floor when I arrived to pick her up (it finished at 9.30pm).

With Xmas fast approaching and many more gifts left to be purchased - both Fuzz and Chels' finished school today at their respective schools - Ogilvie High School and Fairview Primary School.

Both our girls did extremely well during the year at their schools and they were rewarded accordingly. Fuzz won a Scholarship to Claremont College and was presented with her award on Monday night at a Presentation held at the Federation Concert Hall. Chels' was equally awarded with the Rotary Award for Community Spirit, and she received a framed certificate and a $30 voucher redeemable at Bookcity.

I have attached photos of Chels' before she left home for the Leaver's Dinner last along with a photo of her holding her Certificate and Voucher she received today during the Final Grade 6 Assembly.
