I won't say it...









No i won't say well it's over for another year, LOL. cause that is everyone's blog title. Instead I will say how exciting because it isn't long until Easter, hehe. Pre christmas we had a flying visit to Cohuna to share a festive lunch with Dad and the family. We had fun, and stayed at mums. We enjoyed a lovely chrissie day in Torquay with my family after a traditional early start. The kids were happy with their pressies. Emmy got a barbie car off Harry, and a learning centre off us, Harry got a remote batman car off Emmy and the Bat cave off us. They also got their bean bags as you know. Off Santa Harry got a transformer darth vader/death star, massive colouring book, pjs, dvd, 2 books, fireman fire hose (which he wanted last year and they had sold out, LOL), a little buzz light year, hoodie, transformer singlet and a little ben 10 car. Emmy got a pram/doll/high chair/porta cot set (very cute), shorts/ tshirt set, pjs, book, a dress up doll, mega colouring book, drink bottle, and a CD (Santa may have got Emmy less but she was none the wiser). They got lots of good things of family too, including Ben 10, speed racer car, transformers, barbie, tinkerbell costume and dora block set. We then stayed in Geelong at Mark's folks, which was nice to be able to see them too.

I got a Pandora charm for my KK from my family, and I can now say my bracelet is essentially full. Off mark/kids i got (on my behalf) my exercise bike and a suitcase. I also got my ipod and dock recently, so was not short of gifts. Mark bought flowers too which was nice. I may have also snuck in a new 'leather' bag, a real treat as I normally only spend about $30 or 40 on a bag as i tire of them quickly. Mark got a new 2XU suit for running/riding (I call it a leotard, LMAO) and some smellies and slippers (like thongs, he wasn't keen, but I have convinced him they are handy and comfy).

Mark and I then zipped off to Crown promenade to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. We bummed around crown, had drinks in the bar and watched all of the interesting people, visited DFO and had a yummy dinner at Number 8. We enjoyed a buffet cooked breakfast, a swim in the pool and then back to reality.mark joked at dinner that 'we should do this every 7 years', it was funny, as it almost seems like that is as often as we get out (a huge thanks to Auntie Kim for babysitting)..
Now I will fit in a couple of work days before a week pff where we head to Apollo Bay with the Yates crew.

Ok the pics are of us in the bar at the casino for anniversary, my sister Kim and I xmas day, the kids and their cousins in Cohuna, us christmas day (excuse my poor choice of outfit, very unbecoming) and christmas morning and presents.
Ok cheers, I hope you have all recovered, my house still looks like a bomb, or semi bomb anyway. i had my friend jess and her hubby over for dinner, so had to have it a bit clean. I made prawn cocktails and a delish salmon fritatta. Lovely, always nice catching up with friends.
NIGHT, and enoy your week.
