End of Busy Weekend

Thats the end of that one! On Saturday we had a Christmas BBQ at Tanya & Neils as well as for Noahs 2nd birthday. He is one cute kid that one! We had a great time although Andrew had to leave with Alexia as she was babysitting and still wanted to come for a while. He did come back though. The kids had a treasure hunt and lolly scramble. Aaron was right in his element and just loved playing with all the boys and especially seeing Jarrod and Leigh again. They had a waterslide but it got very cold - funny thing about kids is that they don't seem to feel the cold! Lots of teeth chattering and goosebumps though. Thanks Tanya and Neil for including us in your circle of friends this year.
Heres Leigh on the waterslide and yes I forgot to turn the photo.

Today we had Andrews work picnic. All three kids are too old for presents now but they still like to go anyway. They put on a BBQ lunch. We had El Gregoe, the Magician, Santa, running races, lolly scramble, pony rides, bungy thing and ride on cars which were Alexia and Aarons favourite. It was really hot for once and was weatherwise the best work picnic we have had in quite a few years. The temperature guage on the car said 27. We actually got a little sunburnt in spite of sunblock. Does this mean its summer??? The swimming pool was open but apparently the water was freezing.

Haven't done too much scrapping wise this weekend but its nice just to go and sit at my desk and look at my "stuff"!!

Heres the Christmas crackers all done. Used the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding range and have a funny feeling that they are going to be hard to pull apart but not my problem and I'm sure no one else is going to worry about it either.

The plan for this week is to do some Christmas baking, get haircuts and finish the kids coupon books (well maybe finish 2 out of 3), and the Christmas grocery shopping later on in the week. Need to make some dates for lunches out - just 'cos I can!!! LOL.
