The jolly red man has been and gone

but the extra chrissy kilos are still here!!! LOL They will be gone by the time we hit the beach tho (fingers crossed). Although we are still working our way through left over food. Let see - um, left over ham, cold turkey, curried turkey and tonights masterpiece was curried turkey filo pies!! LOL One more meal and I think we will be done. The girls loved christmas day so much. WOW and they are now able to really appreciate the family time and very proudly gave gifts to everyone that they had chosen on their own. The $2 shop is a treasure trove.

Next on the list is Miss 3's 4th birthday in the middle of January. She is excited and requesting a strawberry cake. Well that should be easy enough. No party this year but probably a morning tea with the grandparents.

Spent yesterday trying to find a magic swimsuit that will make me look like Halle Berry (failed of course) and looking for new sunglasses. Took the kids to the Domain for a walk around the wintergardens and then the museum. Gotta love that place. So much more fun than when we were kids with awesome interactive ideas and things that kids can actually touch, puzzles, dressups, sandboxes etc. Always a great place to spend some time.
