Belated Merry Christmas & Happy New year!

My friend Jaimy kindly reminded me that my blog hadn't been updated since the 17th of Dec - oops! let's just say it has been a whirlwind month!
Trying to get back on track and catch up....let's start with the January challenge at Scrap the Girls :)
You can find the challenge details HERE
Here is my sample page......
And now backtracking to before Christmas - a rare nice photo of the 3 kids!
and our baby graduated from pre-school - can't believe she is going to big school in less than a month!
Christmas eve - 3 very excited kids! christmas day there were so many pics I couldn't be bothered putting anymore up - lets just say that we all had a wonderful quiet day with our families and of course the kids were spoilt rotten and very grateful for their pressies.
We went up to our van on the 27th of Dec, and found that our caravan park had installed a brand new HUGE jumping pillow! the kids love it - this pic of Izzy is hilarious LOL
and my favourite nephew came to visit :)
so did my brother and sister!
We took our new boat (named "Tinny Fast" by the kids) for its 1st spin on the Farquar inlet
ready and waiting.....
Everyone caught a fish, with the help of Daddy, Pappy, Uncle Scott & Aunty Tam


The girls enjoyed boogie boarding at Old Bar beach - the next day Izzy's new boogie board floated away into the horizon *sigh*

when did Brielle get so grown up looking?
Declan caught the only "keeper" a great size flounder :)
I also caught my very first fish, although sadly there is never anyone to take photos of me!
It was a perfect 2 weeks of family time and beautiful weather...
Sorry for the photo overload!
I have been spending so much time at the beach I didn't even pull out my scrap stuff, which is still sitting in the van - maybe next week when we are back for another week ;)
thanks for visiting xxx Kate
