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

HI Sandra,
I am glad you all have an enjoyable time relaxing etc.
Cameron is so cute in the party hat.
My gosh how much does Kirsty and her cousins look so alike (almost like sisters)
Love the tongue on Makayla.
