so that was christmas......

For christmas I bought this perfume myself to put under the tree and this book

Mark and the kids bought me the 'Horn of plenty' the Hunters and Collectors collction..

then Mark walks in with another pressie....beautifully wrapped with a bow... and inside the box was this..

I've been wanting one of these for like 2 yrs now.....I had no idea that he was getting this ....it was a complete surprise...and it made me cry.....haven't uploaded any pics as yet...as I'm cleaning the comp up..to make room for new software...

Hope your Christmas was wonderful...ours was...it was a long day but loved it..

As a family we got wii fit...which is great fun... I love the step aerobics... and the headbutting the soccer ball is fun too but I suck at it...lol... love ski-ing and jogging is so funny...if you run too fast you can trip over.. just not too keen on how your weight and height adjusts your mii character...lol.

I't's getting closer

Christmas that is...

We've been a little busy... we were suppose to get pay tv connected the other day... and waited home half the day for the guy to come and connect it ...but some how it was cancelled a 'computer error' I guess (rather than someone pressing the wrong button). ...no one can say how it was cancelled

Anyway ...after Mark throwing the biggest wobbly I've ever seen him throw... while I was on the phone to FT....they are suppose to be coming this week... we'll see..it's funny how they take your money straight away but it takes a week for it to be refunded isn't it....I don't want to be screwed around again... Mark will more than likely go and do a burn out on someones freakin head..

We had Ems graduation on Thursday night which was also her 12th b'day... they sang songs from 'Hairspray' it was great... It was the music teachers last day also which was a bit emotional...he's a really great teacher, the kids love him....Ems teacher played the part of the mother and did it so well..

Had a nephews 18th last night Happy birthday Michael... and going for brunch at a friends today...chicken, champagne, french toast, bacon, eggs and muffins...mmmm.

Christmasy stuff

We had Marks work Christmas do on Friday night at Moonee Valley, it was a great night....placed my first bet (ever) on a horse in the first race and it won !! had a few other bets though the night but didn't leave there with less money than I started with so that was good. :)

We had a 3 course dinner... I had... salmon on cucumber with caviar ( I think the caviar was coated in honey) gee it was nice. Followed by chicken with tartare sugared sauce on a bed of asparagus, and desert was Apple and walnut turnover with cream and strawberries.

We each got a little silver desk clock with Christmas greetings engraved on it...these were in neat little boxes, on our tables. We were seated at the front near the window and had a great view of the field as well as having little flat screen monitor on the table.

The company sponsored a race and Ian, Greg and Mark went and had their pics taken with the owner of the horse, this was while the main course was being served. But a waitress organized for their meals to be taken back to the kitchen and reserved once they returned.

We did take a few pics...of ourselves before we left home...Mark wore a suit which he hasn't done since we were married 17 yrs ago..!!..and I wore a dress..!!.thanks to Karen for the loan...and for straightening my hair.

cards and more cards

The cropper thing on PS is still dodgy... not sure what's going on with it..

a few b'day cards

A few Chrissy Cards

some chrissy tags I made....I forgot I bought this cute owl stamp.

Eric has been nagging and nagging us for an Xbox 360 for about 12 months I guess....and hasn't let up at all... he drove Mark crazy the other day so he did this ....

with a texta...needless to say Eric did not see the humor in it.....but we thought it was hilarious
