Christmas Day

All of the pressies.
Someone was very excited by his street sweeper.
A close up of that sweeping action.
Lots of 'playmobile' construction.
A big job.
MMM that looks like fun.
After the construction.
Yep, a close up of that mammoth action.
Snacks and bread.
All of us, before lunch. Hubby did a chicken, while I did the potatoes, sweet potatoes and peas. All very yummy.

Two front teeth for Christmas!

This week, someone lost his two front teeth. So he'll be singing that special song for Christmas.

Hanging around.

Hubby and his girlfriend, Cleo.
Being funny.
Serious work, watching 'youtube'... he loves watching automatic car washes, train washes and street sweepers.

Christmas Decorations

This year I made a number of decorations for the Christmas tree and house. These are double paper snowflakes with decorative masking tape and paper. I sewed them together with fishing line, and then hung them on the windows.
A close up.
Each night in front of the TV, I decorated polystyrene balls with sequins and pins. Trying to create patterns was the most fun. I also made some angels, sewing them using felt and embroidery cottons.
Lastly, I made some 'shrinkie' decorations... with Mona, Vincent, Venus, and Modigliani Women. Yves did the Sunflowers and Alex made the car ones.
The tree out the front needed some decorations too.

Hubby goes to Brussels.



Artwork

Someone is very proud, here with his artwork. He won 2nd prize for his "Monster" artwork at the library.
It's watercolour with posca outlines.

Lots of fun playing, before school.

Monsters and the Christmas Tree

A little monster, a piece of "McDonald's" cardboard and some lights.
The Tree.
Big brother monster.

Rugby

Someone plays rugby on Saturdays.
Very cute! Not very rugby, I know.
They played five games, and they all got a medal. Someone was very proud.
