Holidays at last

Yippee-ki-yay it’s the holidays…

What a weekend we had to start the school holidays. We just didn’t stop.

Saturday we went house looking but they were all so awful that it was depressing and sad. Sat arvo, Justin took the girls to a b’day party while Jess and I went to see Jane in the hospital with new baby Elias John. 126He was sooooo cute, and with the longest feet and hands that I have ever seen on a newborn. I cuddled him for ages but didn’t get clucky at all 😉
In the evening we went along to a Christmas party at my gorgeous friend Measa’s house. Her daughter and Holly were at daycare, then preschool and next year going to kindy together. It was a great evening with far to many vodka cruisers and cheesecake slices!!

Sunday was a huge sleep-in. Girls didn’t wake till well after 9.30am, me till 8.30am (and that is huge for me!!) and I raced off to mass where I got to cuddle Saraid (Moi’s baby girl) . She is so cute and tiny and petite and gorgeous – and Moi looking fab with her weight loss ( I hope Santa brings her some new jeans cause the old ones are hanging off her now!!:) )

The Sunday evening we had our family Christmas, seeing that we’ll be in WA for 3 weeks. Kids got heaps of presents and my beautiful sister gave me a card which said that a gift had been given to a poor Nicuraguan family on our behalf, via World Vision, which was an egg laying hen and training on how to care for it. The idea being that the family can have some nutritious eggs to eat for themselves, to sell eggs to others and hopefully make some money. Isn’t that a great idea?? Love it.

So now it is 3.20am and I couldn’t sleep, so am catching up on the blog round and seeing how everyone else’s weekends were.

Thanks goodness it is the holidays and I don’t have to rush around tomorrow:)
