Ruby is TEN and an Early Christmas celebration!

Our granddaughter Ruby, turned 10 on Sunday, but we didn't get to see her then as she was competing in a gymnastics competition. So we celebrated this milestone with her today as well as having our Christmas number one, as Phil flies back to site tomorrow for work. The weather was perfect, the kids all played nicely together, the food was delicious. A very relaxing and low-key day. Just the way we like it.

TEN years old - just beautiful

There is always a trick or two involved

A drive in the Country

We jumped in the car around midday, not knowing where we were going. Followed our nose out to the Swan Valley to the Chocolate Factory where we made some small purchases including ice cream and sorbet. On through the country and we ended up at Phils friends house in Toodyay where we got to me his two new foals, 5 and 8 weeks old! So cute. We visited the Christmas shop in the town, which was pretty cool. Fish and Chips for tea, all in all, a lovely Sunday!

Last Day of Primary School

She wouldn't let me take a photo so this is the best I could do of her walking to the car. It's hard to believe she has finished Primary School, and is about to embark on her next adventure - High School!!!

Early Morning Markets

We were early to arrive at our local markets today to get some fruit and veges, we also ended up with bread, flowers, plants for the garden and some sweets. We enjoyed hot chocolates while listening to the bagpipes. The girls' bought cute necklaces and dream catchers. It was a nice way to start Sunday!

Good Friends

We met up with our good friends from dancing today at our local nursery cafe for some lunch. It was a beautiful day, so after we ate, we wandered around the garden. We were then invited up to their Grandparents house for a swim! Good friends are a treasure to have.
