Keeping Cool!

What do you do when it is 41 deg C? You hit the pools with friends!

More Christmas Decorations

A few more bits and pieces added around the house. I love the reindeer on the table, and the coloured baubles in the candle jar. The Christmas cards are starting to come home from school friends. Yummy treats are out to share. Fourteen days to go.

More shopping ...

We had to go to the Apple store today, so continued with our Christmas shopping while we were there. The girls bought miniature Christmas trees for their bedrooms, but so far they haven't made it there :) I sat down in various places and people watched. My feet were sore from all the walking yesterday, so I was happy to sit a few times and let the girls wander. It was pretty packed (as you could imagine) but everyone was so happy and no pushing which made it a very pleasant trip!

There was no buns left by the time we got to the front of the line, which is fine as Ella is not a big bread eater anyway

Today we shopped most of the day. The girls are old enough now to go and shop a bit by themselves. Kate rang me every 15 minutes though to check where I was, where they were, what they were buying, what they weren't buying and so on! I got a bit of Christmas shopping knocked off, so happy with that. Later on we met up with Amie and the kids at a fundraiser for PMH, the kids all had a great time!

Tonight was the Year 5/6 Social which is partner dancing and refreshments at our local community hall. I didn't get any photos of the dancing, but I took these of her and her friends, some at home and some outside the hall. As you can see they all looked beautiful!
