Vic & Tess

And we had more visitors today - this time from Chicago. Was so lovely to catch up with Vic and Tess, she is just too adorable!

Mish & Micah

Mish and Micah came visiting on Sunday....how quick they grow! Inititally I could only see Jeremy's genes at work here, but now I clearly see that it is Michelle's fabulousness that's grabbing the overtones!

Oh Christmas Tree!

What a great weekend, if this is the start of summer its going to be a good one!
A new tree was welcomed into the family...the 3 foot one we had last year was at risk of being tackled by Hector. This one intimidates him a little more hopefully. How cool are LED lights, none of that dissapointment of the whole string being out because of one blown bulb.

Lumberjacks

The tress got a big haircut on Friday. We had four arborists here working like crazy!



Before during and after



Was an easy morning of entertainment.................

Phoenix Trading for Christmas!

My card display did me proud last night. We had a Christmas shopping night at Highbury House where Hector goes to creche. It's amazing how a glass of wine at the door pulls in the crowd. It was a wet and windy evening too so we were lucky to get such a good turn out. The fun part was titivating my stall.

The House was packed with entrepreneurial mum's showing off their goods.

Black Tie...(and cream jacket!)

We attended the Moore's annual Christmas party last night.

Was a big night for us...not feeling so chipper today.

But the drama of the missing dress was soon forgotten once the daiquiri's were being served.

I actually drove home so just the one for me.

Just as well, the harbour bridge was closed for a full check point.

It was all hanging out when we got home in the wee small hours....high heels have a limited attention span!

Afternoon Tea

Looks like Hector's learnt the art of self administering his afternoon tea. I was presented with this scene after hearing a crunching from downstairs!
