i hope you all had a wonderful wonderful xmas, i unfortunately can not share a xmas photo of the kids this year, as....well......um..... this is the best i got!!! a have a carema with over 140 pic very similar or worse than this!! no matter what i tried, bribery, threats, promises, it just didnt happen!! So you will have to pretend they are being well behaved children, sitting together nicely, smiling happily at the camera! We went to Sydney for the festive season this year and spent 10 day with Jasons family, it was nice to see every one, we had a very plesant time. During our visit we spent a little time with my family in Sydney and a little time with my family in the Hunter Valley, where we have almost come to that life changing situation i had been talking about earlier.... (yes i promise when it happens you will be the first to know!) We all know how wonderful it is to vist family and friends, but its great to get home and back into your own bed!! Alas the chrissy lights are down, but the tree still stands pride of place in the dining room, and the chrissy cards are still scattered hanging over every picture frame that adornes the walls..... yes, yes i will eventually get to it, and get them down!!!! just not this weekend! maybe wednesday! on the swapping side of things xmas is always a quiet time of year, so not alot to show! (and i haven't taken pics of them any way, i will take some and get back to you with them! Mr and Mrs Pink (Little Bro and S-I-L) are in Paris ATM, celebrating Mrs pink's 30th birthday, they spent the night of her birthday at the top of the Eiffel Tower having a luxurious dinner, and new years under the eiffel tower watching the fireworks.....ahh some people have the life dont they! (not that i am extremely jealous or greeeeen with envy, noooo, not me (bastards)!!!!!!) I hope they are having a good time (i hope it is snowing so so so bad its al slushy and they cant do anything!!!) :) well thats it from me, i will go and take some pikkies and be back soon. ..................................................Ax
