5 more sleeps.....

5 more sleeps until Santa comes!!  And there's still a fair bit to do.  I haven't quite finished the Christmas shopping, although, it's mainly just stocking fillers I need to get.

Some of my shopping needing to be wrapped....stashed in my closet.

Not only do I need to finish shopping - I need to get wrapping and I'm so worried I'll forget to get more sticky tape that I've left myself about 4 notes to get some.  So far, I've forgotten every time I've gone to the shop.  Next time maybe!

Macy sound asleep on the couch, recovering from last night!

Macy had a sleepover last night with 4 of her primary school friends.  They had a great night, a bit of singing, some games, munchies and a movie and surprisingly, they were all asleep before midnight!  Thank goodness.  Today, I took them for a swim in our pool - well, it's the pool where I work but it's mine (and others) for the summer!!!  They had a cool time playing, swimming, diving and floating.  The water was 23 degrees so really nice.

Our pool......

Christmas card update....I have received 2 more....that's a grand total of 6 cards this year!  One from the McKean's in Victoria and a beautiful handmade card from a good friend.  I thought I'd share a photo of it with you :)

Handmade by Kim :)

Macy did really well at the end of year assembly - Celebration Time at her school this year.  It's her last year of primary school and she left DPS on a high note.  She received 2 trophies, one, a cultural award the other, a leadership award, and certificates for being a school council member and a leaving certificate.  So, to honour her, she's the star of our fridge!!  The fridge of fame.  Well done Macy - you make us so proud xxxxx

The fridge of fame....the place to be.

Well, my stockings are hung by the chimney with care - now it's just the countdown to the big day.  My menu is all done, I've worked out how my table will look and I'm ready to join the hoards of shoppers at the supermarket on Christmas Eve - the supermarket I go to opens at 6am so I'm going bright and early.

Enjoying the mad rush if you're still shopping, take care driving and be patient waiting for car parks :)

I'll be back over the next day or two for my final blog of the year!!  Bet you can all hardly wait.....it's a bit like waiting for Santa!!!
