All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Alexandra, Santa and William Christmas 2007

Look at this beautiful picture. Santa and the kiddlies met and exchanged information about the big day at Strathpine Westfield this morning. William lost his front top tooth last night and the tooth fairy came with 2 $1 coins for it! Jeepers, I only used to get 20c.

Just to give you all a scare it's only 16.5 days until christmas and if you take out sleep, chores, eating and showers that leaves about 6 days - then take out time spent with the kids, wrapping presents, shopping, drinks and nibblies - that leaves about 20 hours - ekkkkkkkk 20 hours until Christmas.

Take care

I'm Back

<

I bought Erina this swing - so cute! Mummy, Daddy and Baby at the park. My beautiful girl - Alexandra Rose. Daddy, William and Manny.

Sorry I've been away so long - resting after a tooth extraction. Not a pretty time. Never mind back with pictures for you. Here are a couple of the Beautiful Erina Isabelle at home. She's growing fast and is up to a whopping 6.5 lbs!!! She's doing well and so is Christa and Stephen. She is now over a month old - almost 5 weeks to be precise.

A couple of pictures taken Sunday 25th November at the GAP (Greyhound Adoption Program) Christmas Party at Capalaba Race Club. Manny was in the finals of MR GAP 2007 but was pipped at the post by a taller bloke - he's too short to be a supermodel. The kids had fun showing him off in a few competitions - smiliest dog, best looking, waggiest tail (he doesn't wag his tail much but while William was leading him around Alexandra was moving his tail! And of course he made it to the top 3 out of about 20 dogs for Mr Gap 2007. I recon he should have won but I'm biased.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

ONLY 4 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!!!

I love christmas especially the decorations. I have started putting a few decos around the house and have finished one tree, the wire one with exquist glass and mercury decorations. It looks lovely even if I do say so myself. The HUGE picture of Santa Claus is actually a Hobbytex picture done by my lovely mum about 30 years ago - I always remember it hanging outside the front door on the veranda. I feel so special that mum decided to give it to me. She put binding around the edges and did the rope etc and presented it to me on Sunday. I was so happy I could have cried. Mum has passed down alot of christmas decos to me as they only put up a 4ft tree nowdays. My plan is to put our 7ft green tree up in the lounge with red and green decorations (no tinsel hate tinsel!!!) and so the front room also has red and green santas and decos in there. Moving through to the family room I am putting up our new pink christmas tree - and that room will be very "shabby" being cream, white, aqua, pink and pink!! We are putting up the trees on Sunday (if I can wait that long). I might have to do them Friday instead.

Footy Presentation

Today, we all attended William's football presentation.

He was very proud. He loves his new trophy. They got some lovely things. His photo, yearbook, penant flag, trophy, and a lovely big towel with the crushers logo and his name on it. Ian got one aswell as he was assistant coach this year. Ian also got a dozen Crownies - mmmmm I think Mummy deserves some of them!!! William only played 13 games this season (should have played 18) but he missed 5 games as he had a scull fracture early in the year from falling off Ian's ute while he was playing. He scored 5 tries and converted 2 goals - what a star!!

We don't know if William will play rugby league again next year. He is looking at soccer next season and he's getting a taster by playing 5-a-side for ACE Albany Creek during the Spring.

Next post will probably be of the kitchen and shade sail as they are both being installed this week - nail biting!!!

Run to Paradise......

Summer's here!!!!!

Nothing better - sipping a cool drink (aka Crownie), sitting in the sun, blue skies, shimmering water, palms blowing and kids squealing. That's what is going on now.... Evie (our darling little neighbour and Alex's best friend), the gorgeous William, an excited Alexandra and Daddy are in the pool.

Manny (our greyhound - retired of course) is looking to the skies and breathing in the warm air - even he looks happy. Lily - Manny's shadow is relaxing back on one of the deck chairs enjoying being close to the kids, Ian and I.

To top this off we have Australian Rock playing - Hooters, Midnight Oil, Hunters & Collectors, The Choir Boys and Icehouse to mention a few - the old rock Australia was built on - songs like "run to paradies, this is australia, alone with you, great southern land, i was only 19".

What a way to spend the day hey!!!!
