9 Sleeps til Christmas!!

Tourists in our own city!

Life has been hectic here at ourfamilyfreeman. With Andrew starting a new job, Christmas now only days away and Christmas presents being built in all the spare time (more to follow on that), we haven't had much family fun time at all. So last Sunday after being couped up inside for the day due to rain and power tools on the deck, we headed into the city to see this years Myer windows. They were gorgeous as usual, this years theme, The Nutcracker, which was great as Holly and I have been reading the story every other night! After seeing the windows in a record time of, oh about 6 minutes flat - it was 5pm and Holly declared - So when are we going to do something fun? We felt so bad that she was still waiting for the fun to begin, Andrew (gorgeous and quick thinking!) Ran to the corner and within minutes the 4 of us were on a horse and carriage ride around the city!! It was great, we felt like such tourists, but it was really fun! Harry LOVED the horses and Holly waved to everyone on the pavement. So faith was restored in Family Sunday Funday and we finished with an early dinner at the Supper Inn - one of our favourite restaurants in little Bourke st.

A change of scenery ...

Tonight Mamma thought a change of routine would do us all good. And boy, was she right, this was the most fun we have had getting clean in ages (apart from our bath on the deck a few weeks ago!)

I am considering doing this more often, there was less mess, and much easier on my back!

Up goes the tree!!!

Our Angel went on first!
only kidding

nope, he is pretty cute, maybe he can stay!

PS, do you like my photo wall in the back ground???

and as alway Holly and Daddy finished it off with the beautiful star on the top.

It has to be just right.

Some random iPhone snaps ...

Holly took this one herself this afternoon, so cute xx
Happy Birthday Dadda!!!
We love you so much and hope you had a super birthday and a nice and relaxed little shindig on sunday. We all think you are AWESOME and love you to pieces xx

Holly and Harry were "knighted" by Loz and Shane on Saturday at Lozzys Uni graduation bbq. They did feel very special being knighted with a rolling pin!

A Little project that I have been working on for the last week or so. It really looks much better in the flesh! You like?

Some random iPhone photos ...

My darling boy, who takes after his big sister and LOVES to dress up!

Harry went very quite the other day - and anyone who has ever had a toddler knows that silence is not always good. However, I went looking for him and found him like this. Under his cot, with a stack of books reading! He stayed like this for about 20 minutes! SO cute. I just love that Harry loves books as much as his big sis did.

Up on the Gold Coast last week, Holly and I shared a bed .... I sent Andrew this photo - bed-hogging must be genetic (she gets it from me not her Dad!)
