Eccles Happenings

Little missy hanging out at the Gorge swimming pool. And yes, the water was freezing!
She loves the water and loves to get it everywhere when we are at home.

Sorry I caught you blinking there, Wally. Or was that too much Rhubarb champagne for you?
These are the chocolate christmas trees I made up for our ward christmas party centerpieces.

This might look like christmas day but it is actually the second of January. Arden had so many presents left over that he hadn't opened yet, that we had to make him open them so we could pack up his santa sack with the rest of the christmas decorations. What a little weirdo. I guess we could have saved a lot more money if we had relised this would be the case, and have only bought him a couple of presents. If only it was like this always...

This is supposed to be a plum pudding but I ran out of time to paint in the pieces of fruit. It worked really well with the string tied up over every eighth of the balloon. That way when the kids hit it, lollies would come flying out for each one of them without the whole thing falling to the ground. There was about 2kg of lollies in it as well, so we needed the extra support. By the way, that was too much for the kids, there were left over lollies.

We spent the end of the year at Bridport. I cannot believe that Jai didn't get sun burnt. There were a lot of red faces around so it was a rare sight to see. By the way, Jai referred to our get away as 'Summer Camp'. We had a great time relaxing, (sometimes), and spending time with friends and family.
