Fab Feb December Chat

[SuperFrog]

Liam is asleep for the moment, but we'll soon be heading off to the in-laws for a big dinner. My job was to make a sticky date pudding, so my house smells divine at the moment!

I think I'm all ready for tomorrow night... 25 people or so for a bbq. House is relatively tidy, presents are wrapped and the fridge is stacked... what more do I need??!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you all have a wonderful time and I look forward to hearing all your stories soon. Party on!

I hope you have all had a lovely day today... and that our bubs have had a great first christmas. I am exhausted and am surprised that I can even type this. we had 12 here for lunch today and 10 the other night (Sunday) for Dinner...feel like I have just cooked and cleaned more than I ever have this year! Connor was spolit and the centre of attention and was so lovely to be around today. Packing tomorrow and then off to Qld on Thursday for the week with Dh's family (which will be a week of biting my tounge and remembering "you can't chose your family!")

Kim - hope you were spolit and are having a party and a few drinkies!!! ENJOY IT!!

Leashie - on the weightloss, it sounds a little strange. I would prob try and get Marissa checked out just to make sure all is Ok.

:sleeping: night

At least you got a sleep in Andrew was up at 4am (little so and so he is)

Love the pics of Eli lil' monkey hehe

Sandy Coen looks like he enjoyed himself where did you get that piano thing from?
I've been looking for one and can't find anything like it.
M loves them.

Well girls Leashie is going away for awhile again the internet provided tried to rip us off (1GB for $89 a month) so i have cancelled it as of tomorrow and we have to wait till there is room in the port exchange to get ADSL so no internet for me for awhile.
I will still catch up from mums computer when i can.

So Happy New Year to everyone, hope you have a good one, (i will be :D)

Am going to miss you :kiss:
Will catch up when i can

It wasn't ours (we borrowed it)... but it is a fisher price piano - l'd send you a link to it but l'd likely get sanctioned, its called Laugh and Learn Baby Grand Piano - you should be able to get it from all the major dept. stores...

We'll miss ya Leashie - l hope you get your internet sorted soon :(

Hi everyone,

Sounds like everyone had a great xmas. Mummybunny, glad to hear that you had a great birthday. It must be hard having a birthday on christmas day. I know it's hard enough with Ben and Matthew and they are the 21st.

We went to the zoo. I thought it would be quiet. So many people.

Matthew and Ben had their 12 month immunisations. Poor things, they got 3 needles each.

What's everyones plans for New Years?

[mandi24]

Hi everyone

How was everyones christmas. Ours was excellent. Got some really great presents. Lochlain enjoyed himself heaps. Will post some pics later as i'm at work at the moment.

Mummybunny - Glad to hear you had a great birthday.

Well better get back to work

[mandi24]

For new year we're just having a party at home

[blubber]

Hello lovely people, thought I better check in, and officially wish everyone a MERRY XMAS. It's a few days since the event but i figure if i meet half way between that and NEW YEAR i should be fine.

We only got back yesterday so has been busy. The girls were pleased to be home.

The temp is soaring up here so trying to get most things done in the morning.

WIll try not to get too personal as so much has been happeing it seems. Plenty of Xmas wishes and reports.

Will say LEASHIE, im sorry I missed you before your forced exodus. Hope to see you soon.

To birthday girl KIM, hope it was a good one.

Plenty of pics to share with you all, hope to get to that tonight.

Just a question to put out there when everyone has time. How do you all get on with the "outlaws" extended relatives when it comes to Xmas day. I guess ours is emphasised by distance but i am so over not being in the right place each year. Just can't seem to win.
How do you compete with a SIL who lives her life through her parents and is anal to the fact. I don't think we will ever be understood for wanting to live some life of or own!!!:hissy::hissy:

Well hope to see everyone around again once the silly season settles down.

[Roopee]

Hi everyone!
Just a quick one from me- we've been away and i'm about to go to work, then away again tonight and should be home at some stage on Wednesday night!
I hope everyone had a great Chrissy and the kids all got great presents.

We had a great day- Cody loved chewing paper:laughing:.

My house resembles Santa's Workshop atm- toys and stuff everywhere!

Oh, and Miss C had her first go on the surfboard while we were away and LOVED it!
Here she was in her little pink Rip Curl bikini on her hands and knees, bum in the air, on the board with a massive grin on her face!My little beach babe- though, i guess she didnt really have much choice! The other kids are big surfers (Ds1- who'se 7) had his own board custom made for Christmas)
Its so cute and i'll post pics when i can.

I hope you all have a great New Year- i get to spend it with my MIL, FIL, SIL and BIL. Aren't i the lucky one:rolleyes:- NOT! I'll probably be in bed at 9pm- how fun!:rolleyes:

Have a great few days and hopefully i'll get a chance to catch up better next week!:hugs:

[harleyq]

Just a question to put out there when everyone has time. How do you all get on with the "outlaws" extended relatives when it comes to Xmas day.. We alternate Christmas Day lunch - one year its with my family, next year its with DH's. On the off year DH's family do Christmas Eve; on the off year my family do boxing day... it works out reasonably well cos it means that we are not rushing around on Christmas day and get to spend some us time as a family - whilst still seeing everyone over the Christmas period.... it was a little difficult to set up initially - cos we had to arrange it with all the brothers/sisters and brother and sister in laws and their families... but its been going for about 4 or 5 years now and its great...

I also have a relative that is very very very family intensive.... and people wonder why l am not the same... we're different people - and l value my time with MY family - l don't need/want outsiders (including extended family) around me all the time!!!!

So l hear your pain Marianne - your not alone!!! It was something l was really really stressed about while l was pregnant - l thought l would never be able to keep the family away... but they have (for the most part) been great.... there when we need them - and giving us our space the rest of the time

[icugal]

There go the tumbleweeds rolling through the thread again ;)

[harleyq]

Guess what????



































Coen did the sign for Milk today!!!! :smiliedance:

[icugal]

Yay for Coen !!

[my_lot]

thats fantastic sandy
We are going strong on the "byebye" and "hello" he expects a huge reaction now because we yelled and clapped when he started doing it.

well done coen :yelclap:

[ziggy29]

Hello everyone and a happy new years eve to you all.

Loved all the photoes of christmas - liam looked particularly spiffey on his bike.

Our christmas holiday was a bit of a loss. it is terrile weather here and lily didnt even go to the beach once (gale force winds and beach closed). I went mental being closed up in a house with my parents fro 5 days so we escaped today with the weather and lilys teeting as good excuses.

So i really know what everyone is on about with relatives. I am so annoyed with some that i am thinking about refusing to see them again but dh is trying to talk me around.

Liy has been a real little **** the last few days - still think it is teeth but she has been much happier since she has been home today which is good.

We certainly accumulated lots of plastic over the last week.

she really isnt interested in toys at the momnet unless they are balls. she is getting prettty good at rolling the ball back too.

Lily has also started saying "TA" when she wants to hand me something and when i hand it back to her. Clapping is still something she refuses to do.

We have also had some happy news......



























































































my sil had a baby girl on the 28th to add to her family of 2 existing boys. Havent met her yet - katie elizabeth. also nice is she was born on my sil deceased mothers birthday and her second name is my sil and her mothers middle name.

[blubber]

Happy New Year everyone.

Good work Coen on the signing.

Sharon, sorry to hear your trip didn't go to plan. As for the relatives that's a whole other post.

I was only thinking yesterday about the things that Elly can do now.
We have had 5 days of 40 degrees so there has been a fair bit of in house entertaining going on.

She is vocal ALL day and really happy. As she is a little lazy @rse and isn't moving yet she sits on the floor flapping her arms and legs about laughing and squealing. If anything is in reach of the feet it gets kicked.

She says ta and clapping then finishing with a horray throwing her arms in the air is another favourite. Waving hello and goodbye is great to watch as well.
We are very new to the signing as i need some more info, free preferably!!

She started nodding her head for yes and a sneeze generates the biggest smile.
Last night when we were out i think she even did the old shy, bury my head in Mums shoulder when someone spoke to her.

Ok enough of my brag, although i'm sure there is more:p. It might be nice if we all start the new year with your own little brag.

Cheers all.
