A BELATED CHRISTMAS POST

I can't believe that Christmas has been and gone already!

Such a big build up for just one day, it seems crazy.

The usual suspects gathered at the folks in the afternoon and settled in for a big couple of days.

We were joined this year by my Nan & her husband, my Uncle, his partner & 3 giant teenage cousins.

We played baseball which the kids loved, and later on after quite a few beverages

(and once the littles were in bed), we cracked out the karaoke and sang the night away.

Highlight of the night:

10 adults doing the Gangnam style dance.

Nan was confused and unimpressed!

Hilarious!!

We had planned on taking lots more photos like this past Christmas, but didn't end up doing it.
You know how sometimes you just get caught up in the moment and forget? Yeah, that happened.
There was a few more shots from later in the night but they are a bit messy!

How did you celebrate Christmas?
Did anyone else have a family game of baseball?

A CHANCE TO CHANGE

When I was asked recently if I had any new year's resolutions I promptly replied

"Nope. Pretty happy with how things are."

But as we have started this year, I can't help feeling that there is a few things I would like to change, or rather veer in the right direction.

It just feels like there is an opportunity to start afresh.

So here's my little list.

Have a healthier attitude to food.

Things get off track too easily in our home, we get busy so quick, easy (not-so-healthy) meals

are whipped up.

I need to get more organised so this doesn't happen. Plan ahead.

I need to spend more time with Ben.

Too often I get caught up in the kids, work, housework, and my own projects and 'us' time goes out the window. Got to change.

Ben told me I should spend more time with my friends. I think that's a good idea too.

Oh and there's the regular lose weight and save money resolutions! Of course!

Do you have any new year's resolutions?

Are you good at sticking to them?

52 WEEKS CATCH UP - CHRISTMAS EDITION

It's been 3 weeks since I last visited this little place!

Life has of course been busy with Christmas and New year, and now is the time to wind down and relax, and try to catch up on those things that got left behind.

I was trying to set myself a goal of at least one post on here per week in the form of '52 weeks of Happy'.

Well I have still been taking photos, just not blogging them,

so this post shall be a catch up for the last 3 weeks that I missed.
