On holidays at last...... and so much to do.

I have totally enjoyed my first day of the holidays today. It has been a very relaxing day catching up with some special friends in Brissie. We have done coffee and lunch, and totally relaxed and I have loved spending the day with you both Bev and Bek, and the beautiful Grace and Lucy. Two more days of this and then it is back to reality and lots of spring cleaning before Christmas.

The last week of work was CRAZY.... so much to do and so little time, late nights and early mornings.

Here's a glimpse of last week.
Steve finishing off the end of his work... at home for a change.
Last weekend we went to the COP production of "How Bazaar". It was amazing. They did an excellent job. Steve and I went on the Friday night because he was heading off to visit his folks for a couple of days on the Sunday. I went again on Sunday night with Chloe. We try and go most years. They are always very well done.

I have been busy doing this for work this week.

Christmas baking. We had parents coming in to help us cover books, so I wanted to have something special for them for Afternoon tea.

These were a huge hit.
These were a huge hit.
Chloe bought some of these home as a treat for us...
My eldest daughter informed me that I had to make one of these for the newest addition to our family.
We have even been Christmas shopping to buy some gifts to fill it.

This one has been to the beach... enjoying a typical Queenslander summer
I even managed to finish off this.....
Why is it that when you really feel like scrapbooking, it is always the busy time and you don't have time..... Have some great photos to scrapbook at the moment, but I guess they will have to wait now until after Christmas.

This past weekend I have been down visiting my kids. Had a great day yesterday with Sarah, we were off doing this.
We started the day with a head, shoulder and neck massage, and then hit the shops to do our Christmas shopping. Always so much better when you do it with someone and can have a break here and there to enjoy some girlie time.
We had a great time.... Got some bargains, completed most of our Christmas shopping.

Last night we headed off to the movies to see this.
I don't think the boys particularly enjoyed it but I did.....

But Sarah wore her new dress that we had bought that morning Love it on her. Will be great for when the girls go overseas next year.
Today I have been busy doing this...
Thought I would get them done and posted before I went home. One less job to do when I get home.

Today I also caught up with these lovely girls.
I have known and loved them forever. Bek was her daughter Lucy's age when we first met. We have been good friends for over 35 years. So nice to spent time with them. Bek now has two beautiful daughters of her own.
Baby Lucy had her very first Baby Chino today, She kept us entertained, as she scooped off the froth, and dipped her marshmallow into the froth. Definately a photographic moment,

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas down here.
Only two more days until I get home and then I have a huge spring clean ahead of me to get our place ready for Christmas. The troops are all coming home this year, and I can't wait.

We've had drama's at home since I have been away. Massive storms yesterday, They have taken photos of it all, will be back to share in a couple of days.

And finally just had to share this one.
