Forever Always Online: Holidays Catch up.

Well, it feels like I have been celebrating for a month.... ..straight from my party we headed off on a holiday...had a great time...and will post a few pics here...

First photo is of my Pandora Bracelet..forgot to post a pic..

Our holiday was spent just chilling, this is a photo of us doing some colouring, note the lack of Brian in this shot, apart from

him taking the photo, as he walked out from his afternoon nap....he had the most horrid cold the whole time we were away...so spent all afternoons asleep bar one...

Next up is our jigsaw puzzle...well this is all we manage to complete of it, the lighting in our appartment was very dark,and the puzzle is very blurry....only looking back at the photos did i realise that it is glasses on napkins...it is a murder mystery puzzle...so we don't have a picture....so I will be dragging it out to do again....another rainy day.

We drove around and spied this pier...so I made us all get out in the cold, and walk along it.....this next one is the grumpies...who were freezing...

Something about holidays and eating out....and spoiling each other...here is some family poses at the Nelson Bay Marina Hogs Breath Cafe....

Dylan is one of the hardest to catch, without a fake smile..

.Then comes Bianca, just love the cheeky look...yes we passed the camera around...so here are some photos of me...yep mid sentence..the mum in me telling her how

to take the

photo....LOL she often does a better job than me...so i should learn to keep my trap shut....Brian being mr suave...not!!!

Next is our dessert for four....yep that is 6 scoops of icecream, on top of a wedge of mudcake, hot chocolate sauce, then whipped cream, strawberry topping and marshmallows...oh and those biscuits.

And no we didn't manage to get thru it all.

This is the only Whale we got to see, as the high seas kept on causing the cruises to be cancelled....

but we did catch this Mother and baby...well that's what we think it was, from the shore....they were swimming close and one fin was definately smaller than the other...One of my awesome gifts...was a voucher to the

Point restaurant on the Soldiers Point Marina....fantastic ....this is the oh no not so sunset....but well the atmosphere was awesome....and the time spent yes....from 4.30 till 9pm just the two of us...very pleasurable...and a record for us in a restaurant...well at least since pre children days...and this is our dinner...yep we splashed out and had the seafood banquet....oh we were stuffed...there is a lobster...2 crabs, prawns, oysters,

scallops, calamari, and fish.....yep and loads of fruit...so yummy but oh so filling.

The Staff there were just amazing, and we felt so spoilt....little plug if you happen to be up that way...make the time to sit and sip and watch the sunset...and if you happen to be there for a special celebration....and they find out...your bound to be treated to this little fudge treat....made me feel special.

And this is my Son...the reader, the bookworm - yep 5 hours on the drive home and this is all we got...the book in our faces if we tried to communicate...on our

little detour - further up the coast to hawks nest for a check it out for the next

holiday ...some photos of a pelican he had his eye on us....Brian and bianca got out in the rain to get up close and take some pictures....

I came home to find this wonderful

bundle of ribbons on my doorstep from the wonderful Fiona Carter and Ribbons Galore....after Amie was wonderful and granted me a gift voucher for

my birthday...aren't they just yummy...I so love the black, white and red circles...oh and the cupcakes are just divine.

That's it for the my photos....last night i went to see Cirque Du Soleil - Dralion...just an amazing sight to see...if you can manage it make the effort and the expense is in your budget....you have to go see it, the cosutmes were just amazing and the soundtrack, just had to be purchased - yup i got it, and played it quite a few times, once going to bed last night and then again today up loud whilst i walked on the treadmill...then on and off when i have been on the laptop today.....Have to say thankyou to my very special Girl...who shouted me out for dinner..last night talk about spoilt. I guess my birthday is now over...and i feel very special indeed...if this is what being 40 is about then i am happy to be here...

oh before i go just had to share some net pics from lastnight show....a few of my highlights........

This girl, was just stunning, and her costume was oh so colourful...

This young girl just amazing, what she did on this pole...

This balancing act....yep they are balls and they are bouncing on them and landing....it was spectacular...oh those dragon type dogs...were just hilarious...and yep they did some amazing balancing on the balls too...
