We're BACK

And what a FABULOUS holiday we had. We have just come home from 9 days of pure relaxation at Caloundra. We spent the week with my brother and sister and my two beautiful nieces. We stayed at our usual resort - the Rolling Surf Resort. It is just paradise. I did heaps of walking and swimming and loads of eating (as you do on holidays). We also did a couple of night time walks along the beach and some night time swimming in the pool. The girls had a great time and keeping Kirsty and Makayla out of the water was a battle. But trying to keep Kirsty with us was an even bigger battle as she just wanted to spend the time with her two cousins. And not one argument was had for the entire time we were together. Just goes to show how much they are growing up.

Cameron had his birthday while we were away so we enjoyed a night out at a Thai restaurant. The food was great. Kirsty got sick after dinner as the plate of food she was served was enough to feed a very hungry adult and yet somehow she managed to eat all of it bar a handful of chips.


Yes I did make Cameron wear the party hat but he wore it just for the photos. It just isn't a birthday party without party hats..........
This is the balcony from our room. Just perfect. We had our own access to the pool and could see the kids swimming. I totally recommend this place for a holiday.

We went to Montville while we where in the area and saw candy being made. Oh My Goodness. If ever there was an artist it is the guy making the candy. I so wish I got photos (yeah I know I can't believe I didn't take any either). If you are ever in Montville do stop into Candy Addiction and watch them make candy. You will be amazed at what they do. Plus you will walk out with arm fulls of candy as we nearly did.We also visited the Malaney Dairy. Which the girls had a great time seeing the cows being milked as well as the goats. Lucky for you I don't have smell - a - blog........ As the smell was just disgusting. The goats had to be milked twice a day. Check out those udders . OUCH.........

My BF Katrina and Brenton and Prudence visited us on our last day. And my goodness she has grown but Prudence is still such a petite little princess. Photos to come.

The weather was just perfect and it was a much needed rest for us all after such a busy year. Looking forward to our next big holiday.

Now you will notice that my blog has changed slightly. This is thanks to my BF Lorelle for putting me onto this fabulous site. I do love her blog so go and check it out.

MOST EXCITING NEWS - Makayla sat on my lap beside Santa today and we got a photo. I know, not that exciting for some but I was just soooooo excited as she would not even look at him over a week ago. Though I was not dressed to have my photo taken with Santa and my wonderful husband said I looked great. Love you Cameron. But he was lying through his teeth. I will have to some how air brush me out of the photo. I will no doubt be calling on my friend Lorelle for some major help there.

Have a great Christmas everyone and I hope Santa finds you.

Love Sandra

Has anyone seen my baby??????

I can't believe my little girl is just about all grown up. She is now into double digits. And just how beautiful is she?

So much has happened since I last blogged. We have had a birthday party, which consisted of around twelve 10 year old girls dancing, laughing and more dancing. And of course I got up and did a bit of dancing. I was told by one of the parents that they could hear the music from the start of our street. I do think the neighbours were a bit shocked at the noise as we don't usually have much noise come from our place. My sister and brother and neices came up from Brisbane to celebrate Kirsty's birthday. As always a weekend is just never enough time to spend with them.

Only 9 more sleeps until Cameron finishes work. We are so looking forward to spending the holidays together. Only 9 more sleeps.. did I mention that........

I have been really busy with work the last couple of weeks. I have started back at my old work place but this time I have been set up from home. What a great job I have......... I work on average 3 days a week but just depends what work there is. My job role is a Paraplanner. I know - What The......... Basically I prepare documents as instructed by the Financial Adviser. I am really enjoying what I am doing and especially being at home makes it so much easier in organising the family.

I have also finished making all of my Christmas presents. Which I can't put on the blog just yet otherwise everyone will see what I have made for them..... And I have also finished my Christmas cards for this year. Well this year was a new record in the number of cards I made. This year I made 90 cards and gave those 90 cards out. Or in the process of giving them out. I even did heaps of sewing on my cards this year. So those that get a hand made card from me this year I will be checking to see if you keep it during the year.. LOL

I am looking forward to this Sunday as a few of my addicted scrapper friends and I are all getting together to have a scrapathon or just a day with the girls. Scrapathon sounds better. It is really sort of our christmas party. So I am hoping to get some scrapbooking done. See you all there. I'll be wearing my Christmas clothes and I might just have to join in and sing those christmas songs with you D.......

Kirsty is now finished school for another year. And we have loads of things planned for the holidays. So it might be a few weeks before I see you again. So have a great Christmas everyone and a safe New Year.
