It seems I have a bit of a challenge on my hands, yesterday Megan and I were talking about our blogs and how slack we’ve been at updating them. We came up with a plan to each update our blogs at least every Friday throughout 2010, I guess it’s on our resolution lists! So here is the beginning and we shall see how far we get… feel free to nudge either of us if we “forget” he he

Hmm… what to blog about? I’ve filled you all in on my fabulous new scrap room and thanks so much for all your lovely comments I can’t wait to get some time to start creating!

Well I’m sitting here watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it brings back such nice childhood memories, but watching it as an adult it certainly does have a dark side which you miss when young. I’ve got a bowl of Tip Tops new Strawberry Yoghurt ice cream and it’s very nice, well worth a try! Relaxing after a nice picnic with friends today over on the peninsular. Last night was a quiet one for us, we spent the evening at my sister’s place, had scrummy Indian for dinner and watched what was a pretty bad tv countdown show on TV1. My 12.12am we were heading home to bed. I’m knackered as I had a few drinks last night, I hardly drink and they went to my head hehe Defiantly going to enjoy a few days of relaxing around home.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas day, I’m sure you did We hosted our family Christmas for the first time this year and it went really well. My sister, Mum and I  continued our family tradition of attending the midnight carol church service at a local church, it really helps remind me to enjoy the special things about Christmas day and I love any excuse to sing beautiful carols especially by candlelight. I thought it would be really hard going this year as the last time we were in that church was my Grandfather’s funeral and he had attended the Christmas service with us last year. But it ended up being a special way to remember him before the busy time of Christmas day.  Christmas morning we went to my sister’s place for a yummy breakfast and to open the girl’s Santa presents. We briefly popped into my Nana’s place to visit as she wasn’t able to make it to our family Christmas (due to her health), she seemed to enjoy seeing the girls. In the afternoon my family and Craig’s nana joined us for a very yummy lunch and the weather was perfect for relaxing outside after lunch with a drink while Maddi and Grace played with their new toys. It really was a great Christmas.

Boxing day was great too. We decided to brave the sales but headed into town instead of the malls and wandered around, had lunch and enjoyed it as we hardly ever head to town. In the afternoon we headed to my Sister’s for a casual bbq tea and the girls played for ages in there paddling pool and sandpit. A nice relaxing way to finish the Christmas festivities.

Well there we have it, my first blog for 2010! hehe
