Day three of my holidays - christmas eve :)



Day three was a goooooood day :)  Once the family arrived us girls all went shopping and I bought myself two short dresses, perfect for the hot weather!  We did some swimming, some more lazing around, some walking!

The evening consisted of meeting Santa as he arrived via the sea on a canoe.  This is my gorgeous Lily waiting so patiently for santa!



Me in one of my new holiday dresses and my little baby, who is growing up way too quickly!

 

Santa arrived by boar and his reindeer wore budgie snugglers lol

 
He always throws candies for the kids, so it is a bit of a mad scramble getting lollies.
 
Look at Katie's cheeks, stopped to the brim with lollies lol.

 

She was so pleased with the amount of lollies she got, she also had some help from her Oupa and her Uncle Rudi too!

 

Little miss attitude, waiting for the fireworks to start :)  Which I couldn't capture with the little point and shoot camera I had with me boohoo, but the fireworks were AMAZING!!  Loved them!







A quick shot with Santa, before this Katie wouldn't go near Santa, but she decided to be 'brave' and asked if she could go and sit on Santa's lap :)



And that brings us up to xmas, but there are sooooo many photos I haven't even started to edit them yet!

It is weekend!!  And I couldn't be happier, this week was one of the worst rollercoaster weeks and I'm glad to see the back of it!!  A water pipe burst on top of the emotional things, so I had no water for a while as it was spraying a fountain, all fixed now though!

Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow, it is Leon's day to come visit the girls after church and I am thinking that getting out will be the best, so hoping the weather plays along!!  Sunday is work for me.

What are you all doing this weekend??

Big hugs!
