On Christmas night we decided we would go for a walk down to the bridge after tea, it was a short but nice walk. I would have walked further, except it was getting dark and we had the kids with us and there were spiders appearing everywhere on the bridge as well. Considering I didn't have my tripod with me I was quite pleased with this shot.



The start of the Murray Bridge



Mum the red nosed reindeer :)




Me with no prescription sunnies on ... I love wearing my contacts, but I still am not used to looking at myself without them and I am not totally sure I like my look without my glasses. But it is convenient!



Brad pulling a funny face while blowing bubbles. :) I think this is one of the first if not only times I have got a good bubble photo :)

The photos are in no particular order and will be just random... but that is about normal for me Ha!

My Purple Sunset

We are home after spending a wonderful week with my family in SA ... the heat wasn't my preferred choice, but I survived Haha!!

I took over 400 photos and I will put some up over the coming days, but I wanted to share my 'purple' sunset photos that I took. (not edited at all!)

The trip over was great with our normal stop in Horsham for the night. The trip back was soooo long and really took it out of us all. I think it had alot to do with how busy the roads and the shops were.

I am looking forward to the New Year and the change that it will bring to our lives, it will be a challenge, but it will be worth it I believe.

This week has been a VERY long week, on Monday we had Brad and Sian with temps and yucky colds so they were both kept home, Gareth was also home as he had been up all night with a toothache, he ended up at the dentist (with a 3 hour wait) to have his wisdom tooth taken out. (ouch) I have been fighting the cold off like crazy. I got fitted for my contacts on Wednesday which was great, it feels a little wierd and I think it shows too many bags and wrinkles when I haven't got the glasses to hide behind LOL.

We are off to SA this afternoon for a stay with Mum and Dad... it will be a nice break that we are all looking forward to.

I have been extremely slack with my photo taking, but I am going to try and make up for it in the next week!

Have a fantastic Christmas!!
