Just photos today...

Don't you just love the look on his face...photos from Christmas day.

and his new trampoline from Dhama & Gregdad (under construction - it now has sides but he just couldn't wait). You will also have to excuse the "shrek swamp" that is our backyard at the moment - it is also still under construction!!

taking his cousin Emily for a spin...

wait for it...

Well here it is...the only photo I got to take of Ryan all day...but it is the first photo I have of him with Santa since he was 5 months old. Although I think Santa took him by surprise and spun him around to face the camera before he could protest.

And as predicted he didn't perform at his Christmas concert. Just a few handshakes with the jingle bells he was holding and that was it and even then I had to go and sit down with him. Oh well maybe next year.

Cheeky little monkey

Feels like I haven't taken photos of the little man for a long time...funny how everyday there was a photo when he was born but lately there is only a photo on special occassions....and this is probably the reason why!!! This is what he called "serious" posing...his Aunty Sheree would be proud.


And these are the bookmarks I made as Christmas presents for his Teachers at PreSchool. He has his first Christmas Concert on tomorrow and is supposed to be singing Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Hope to get some good shots and will post after.

Not much happening around here (well anything exciting anyway!). Am really starting to stress out about Christmas cause I still have so much shopping to do. My always wonderful Mother offered to come and look after the little man on Sunday so we can go and finish it off.

All my jewellery making tools arrived (from ebay!) and I also went into Richmond bead shop and purchased some gorgeous beads and have made 3 bracelets. The one in the photo is what I made for my sister's birthday that was on the 4th December. She absolutely loved it although I had to make it smaller. Was very happy with it myself being my first attempt at bracelets. Since then, as I mentioned, I have made 2 more.

And Nan loved her necklace as well, although even more so once she realised I had made it myself.

This craft is very addictive!
Have now started working from home until at least February when the new office is sorted and ready. Has been so nice not to be rushed in the morning taking the little man to school and I get to spend some time with him there rather than dumping and leaving him.

He has been coming out with the funniest little comments lately.

I was stressing over something the other day and he comes and says "come into my room and relax and have a snack".

Then this morning he comes and asks me if he could "look up dotcomdotau (.com.au) on my puter" pretty scary at 3 years of age!

This is a favourite photo of mine with my little man and niece.
Well not much else happening (except the stressing!) so if I don't get on here again before Christmas - Merry Christmas everyone....
