Wow it is always a busy end to the year once we hit November. My Birthday passed yet again with very little fuss, which is a good thing, my expectations are always a little too high (the ever important good wishes from those that matter are forgotten once again, and the hope that the kids will provide a day of peace is just too much to ask for.) this year DD#1 dropped the 'I'm moving out' clanger the day before my Birthday, but that is a long painful story. DS#2 had a rough end to the year, nerves, anxiety and hormones proved a little too much. DH celebrated his 50th, which was a highlight, as was DS#1's Graduation from High School with his formal and the final stages in his Navy application. DS#2 Graduated from Primary School. DD#2 is just the same...still wanting to be as grown up as her big sister. So here's some photos.
Grant's Formal. Scrubbed up quite well I think.
The standard Mum and Dad shot.

This years Xmas cards, went for a simple design but still procrastinated much.

Birthday Card for Godson's brother.
So between ANC activities - Remembrance Day and Tri-Service Parade - we are on a break, well technically the Cadets are, got a few things to get done before we head back in a few weeks.
With all of the Xmas celebrations over for another year, it's a matter of packing away the festive pretties and getting a start on school preparations, I do enjoy the shopping for school supplies...I think it's the stationary fetish and the love of matching bits....and of course adding some much wanted new supplies to my stash. I did have another play on eBay, scored an Expression bundle for a friend and did add to my cartridge collection, just waiting for delivery of the last two won.
For those that read, I hope you had a great Xmas and enjoy the year ahead..
