Where did December go?

Where has December gone?  Busy at work and busy getting ready for Christmas.   Travis is already back at work.  Here are things done in the last week and a half for Christmas Presents as well as a LO for Scrapjacked. 

 

 

Happy New Year to all.  Try to stay cool.

Another Busy Weekend

Another very busy week.  It is scary how close Christmas is, and how much I have to get done before then.  We have started using Jacinta’s Advent Calendar as she is getting very excited.

The one thing I don’t like about Christmas is the tug of war over who gets to see us and when.  It takes some of the polish off what is meant to be a happy time.  Once it is all sorted it should be OK.

Friday Night was Dinner out and it was lovely to have an Adult dinner. 

Saturday morning was breakfast with Santa at the Local Shopping Centre.  My Sister came with Taylor, as Cooper had gone away for the weekend with Dad.  The two Girls had a ball.  Both in pretty dresses enjoyiong breakfast at McDonalds as Sherk walked around the Centre saying hello and playing games with all.  This was followed by a Christmas show about the Wish Fairy and the Naughty Elf.  Jacinta took Taylor up the front and they both danced at every opportunity.  Then it was a vist with Santa.  Taylor surprised us all by rushing up and giving Santa her dummy.  He tried to give it back, after updating him that she was giving it up, he happy put it in his sack to go back to the North Pole. (I am waiting on an update on how it goes after Cooper comes home from his holiday with his.)  For course Travis videoed the whole event, before having to rush off to work.

From there it was straight off to Scraptac for the Demo day.  I got the a MM Trimmer which I have wanted for a while.

Then off to Ange’s for a Chef Tools demo.  It is very good stuff, but not cheap.  Jacinta can with me and had a ball playing with Ange’s Girls.  She did not want to come home. Her annoncement on the way home.  “I am going to dream about the girls and the Tellietubies.” Not sure where the Tellietubies came from.   (We do talk each night before she goes to bed what she will dream about.)

Sunday was a bit a recovery day.  Normal catch up jobs around the house. Travis had a TV turn in the afternoon. Then off to a Christmas catch up with Adam and Jules and their three little ones.  I love the way the kids play together.  I think Jules is amazing with three under three, and nothing seems to worry her.  

Did not get any of the Presents made that I had planned, that will have to be next weekend’s job.

Will be back later with photo’s of the girls with Santa.
