On the 24th day of December….. We had some fun cooking. The children decided to make Chocolate brownie cakes in Christmas Shapes as well as Rum Balls.

We also had to chase an escaped rabbit as Sooty managed to find a way out of the enclosure we had set up for him and Fluffy. The little bugger squeezes through the holes in the trellis to get out, so we are back to the drawing board to find a way to keep him in.

Our afternoon, involved torrential rain. It was so hard and fast that the down pipe on the house over flowed and we had to move the Christmas tree away from its usual spot underneath the pergola out side.

Yesterday we enjoyed roaming around in the car to different towns looking for impressive Christmas lights. I must say that there were very few houses lite up, but we did manage to find quite a few that were well worth the wait.

Thank you to these wonderful people who obviously put so much effort and time into creating these masterpieces, Not only did I enjoy them, but you managed to light up the faces of my children and bring a little magic into their Christmas.

Christmas lights that lite up our night!

On the 23rd day of December… ‘My daughters bought for me, two gold fish in a fishtank’, said Tata.

The story started when the children first asked for a pet once we purchased our own home. One wanted a rabbit, the other a dog. Tata said they could only have one gold fish, which he would put into a bucket in the back yard! The children where horrified!

Anyway, they decided to buy Tata two gold fish for Christmas. One is white in colour and the other is mainly orange with big eyes. After much deliberation and discussion, they were named Galaxy (the white one) and Comet (the orange one), so here are our newest additions t our family…

Comet and Galaxy Tata’s fish!
