Church decorating
Just because we meet in a school hall doesn't mean we shouldn't embrace the Christmas spirit. Usually I go early on Christmas Eve and madly put out tinsel over the stage. It's never that great or what I really want.
This year I enlisted the help of the insanely talented and creative Prue Broughton. Being the fabulous lady she is she embraced my idea to decorate with big boxes wrapped beautifully. To be honest I did the basic wrapping and she made them look good. A good result!

Christmas Moment
Today we made mini Christmas puddings. Needless to say I am no chef so these are about my limit. I try to do things that make Christmas special for the boys but fear my lack of home skills means that they miss out. Well these I can make and they turn out ok. So chalk that up as a Christmas memory/good mum moment.
I couldn't get mint leaves or raspberry lollies at the shops this morning so we crushed up a candy cane instead. I am quite happy with the last photo- looks foodie.

It's Christmas time in the city
After many years of me saying we should go into the city to see the Christmas displays we finally did! With the added bonus of the lovely Steph joining us.
We had a really late night the night before but the boys coped ok.
We drove to Bexley North and caught the train to St James. We then walked to DJ's to see their windows. We went into DJ's to see this one particular tree that Xavier had seen from the outside. This tree was the same as the 10 we walked past to get to it but anyway.... We then went upstairs to the Magic Cave. To be honest it wasn't that magical and the trip was short lived.
We then stopped for morning tea at Max Brenner - so good.
QVB was next - that tree is super amazing!
Darling Harbour was the next port of call for a play at the new park there and lunch. Berty is a good man - he took the boys to McD while Steph and I had a quiet lunch at Guylian - awesome!!
It was a good day - I'm glad we finally did it :)

A dog and a sprinkler
It turns out that Indie loves the sprinkler. She stands right over it and lets it saturate her. She isn't very good at sharing it with the boys though! She gets right over the top of it and sometimes gives them a bit of a nip if they try to move her!! Pretty funny!
