City xmas fun

Well been quite a while since I was here. Anyway Merry Xmas everyone and today is New Years Eve so I guess I can say Happy new year too......Have you seen the Xmas movie on Netflix starring Kurt Russell, really fun to watch. 

So, way back before xmas and at home I whipped up these 

Plenty were eaten during xmas eve lunch

I was still watching Michael Portello 

21st December we hit the road back to the city pad

All loaded up to be ready 

Yes more Michael Portello watching this time in the city 

I was working on one last xmas pressie 

Little boots, mittens, scarf and little arms waiting 

Love my bat stitch marker 

On Saturday 22nd we went to the supermarket to stock up on drinks and some food 

My boy Frank came for that night with Riley and Misty 

Those 2 had a lot of fun laughing at crazy cats on Youtube 

On Sunday we prepared the pad for 17 expected guest for Xmas eve lunch 

Pressies among the train track 

Little chairs ready too 

My new doormat for here, love it 

And yes that night still hooking this up....oh my aching hand lol 

Both ready and amazing same pattern, same hook, same wool.....different sizes....oh well 

And here are some of them enjoying before lunch...from left to right 

Riley, Sarah, Misty, Lauren with April, Ray with Cooper 

Me and Sebastian 

And me with all my grandies including Ray and Lauren. Tall one Brandon almost 20 

Neat selfie here 

Love how April is looking at Misty....cousin love 

Fun by all and missed so many with photo's but we had a great day 

And some went swimming too 

More went to join them 

So much fun and we fed 16 in total and even still had leftovers 

On xmas morning it was just us so we went to see the Myer windows and this was the theme

But only this photo as the glare from the sun too much 

Later that day we caught a train to go visit Sarah......she had forgotten my present so more than happy to add an extra Mum Girl catchup 

Dante' her oldest cat and my favourite.....he is getting old now 

Fur love right here

Well hope you all had a great xmas time on what ever day you celebrated....We have stayed in the city and will, till after New years day.

Up next a Baptism we went to Yesterday 30th Dec 

Take care out there and look out for each other xoxoxo

Back home doing things

Well another week has flown by.....Hello from me and look 👀 Paul bought one of those robot vacuums at Aldi...Stirling brand and we named him Steven after a team leader I had while working 😂😂 and it does a great job. He has cleaned perfectly under all our beds here at home 

My kidz are ready for xmas in their usual hats 

We ate out at a pub in Sale while tyres being fitted to one of our cars.....neat pretend antler lights here 

Many pictures of this old pub on the wall 

Our yum lunches 

A xmas cake in the making 

More watching of Michael Portello 

Something being made 

Cake baking 

And in retirement what better thing to do in the garden 

Sift weeds out of the soil 😂😂

Plenty of annoying weeds 

Much better 

Paul sure has been busy out here 

Rosemary growing even more and aloe vera almost fence height 

mmmm xmas cake now cooked and ready for city xmas fun 

And who do we have here........

Yes Cooper came to stay on Friday night and thought it was a good idea to be awake and up 4.19am 

By 8.15am he was back in bed relaxed 😀😀 Not Granny though....I stayed up 

Mr Blue 

Enjoying his lunch after a long nap 

We went out to buy him some little shoes which he loved putting on and carrying the receipt 

Happy in the car back to our home 

April came to collect him 

Dad Ray chatting with them.....we shared fish and chips for tea 

Ready and excited to go back home 

And yesterday I made these low carb option hotdogs keto-mummy-dogs recipe.....I did not do them like Mummys just wrapped around and pretty tasty......

Well that is it for now......may you be all getting ready for xmas out there xoxoxo
