Its hard 2 believe that in a few short days, its gonna be the start of a whole new year! Wicked roll on 2006. Xmas day was a real quiet affair. We ended up going 2 my sisters 2 swim as the kids were so hot & bothered & they wanted 2 use their new beach towels that aunty Liane had sent them. We spent the night playing games & watching dvds before crashing out early in preperation for the shopping spree the next day. Every year I 4get that the boxing day sales r 4 every1 not just 4 us!! It was just as stressful as doing ure pressie shopping b4 xmas day. The kids really enjoyed it tho Andrew & I found it tedious after a coupla hours. Our kids are lethal with a few $$ in their pockets. Maddy was so funny dragging her dad 4rm shop 2 shop, & then when she ran out of money, she demanded that her dad give her more. Now the thing about AJ is that he hates malls. He will go 2 them if theres a purpose 2, otherwise he races me thru the mall & doesnt believe in browsing. Had no choice about it yesterday tho!!
No major plans 4 new years. With 5 kids its pretty impossible 2 go out & party. But we are considering leaving the brats with my sister new years eve & catching the ferry up the Brisbane River 2 southbank 2 watch the fireworks display & beachparty they have every year. Its just a matter of convincing my darling fiance 2 brave the inevitable large crowds. The other option is seeing in the new year with our friend, Jamil, at the bar in newmarket he works at. Will be a bit more acceptable 4 AJ I think.

I know those boxing day sales are a nightmare, just parking is a mission. We had to go out in it too to buy Jon's sister a birthday present(28th) as we had forgotten to. Sometimes I marvel that we remember anything really. Do much babushka in the younger days I reckon. My short term memory is shot!.
