Another catch up ...

before the end of the year is here! The days are just zipping along ... Mum has been here over half her time already :-(
.
So ... here's what we've been up to since Friday (and so I remember what's what for my Dec album ... I have done a quite few pages, but only about half a dozen are actually complete!).
.
Friday 26th ... yes Aaron, the chocolates are all gone from the chocolate advent calendar!!! :-)

Can't actually remember right now what we did Friday and Saturday ... complete memory blank ... must be too late at night! Can't have been exciting anyway! Think we just had lazy days at home.
.
Sunday night we went out for tea with Irene and her sisters to a Chinese seafood restaurant. Very yummy.

We enjoyed the company and the food and for the kids, these ride on toys were the highlight for them!
And this Cayman.

Monday was a public holiday, so Lyndon and Aaron went off by taxi in the morning to do some watch shop browsing!! And after lunch and Maddison's sleep Mum, Maddison & I went to a mall and Lyndon and Aaron met us there. Finding a park was just ridiculous ... took us about half an hour, maybe even longer. But we found one eventually. Here's a pic of us ... Maddison a box of birds chewing on a pretzel and Aaron totally zonked out (the watch shopping must have been exhausting!) heheee
We went to a Japanese restaurant for tea and afterwards Maddison saw us using tooth picks so she wanted one too. I gave her a broken chopstick! :-) She thought she was just so clever.

Found this merry go round on the way out to the car, so the kids had to have a go on that (a complete waste of money ... RM2 for about 5 turns!).

When we got home I got Maddison to try on a new swim outfit I got in a sale. So Aaron had to try on his new one that Nana & Grandad sent him for Christmas too! They fit very nicely thank you very much :-)
.
Maddison's ones ... well lets just say I really don't understand the sizing over here ... the top is size 4 and the pants are size 8!!! She's 17 months old (okay she's wearing a nappy, but hello! Size 8? I don't think so!) Mum is going to take the sleeves up on the top ... they're a tad long :-)
Here they are this morning having morning tea on the stools that they got from Uncle A & Aunty R and boys :-) Thanks so much ... they have been carted around all over the place and Aaron has discovered if he puts it close to the Christmas tree he can reach all the little precious ornaments!!!

I have done some scrapping other than my December Daily album, but it's for a gift, so will post it once I've actually given it to the person ... a late Christmas present!!
.
Here's some more sneak peaks of what I've done with the January kit for Scrap-n-Crop which goes on sale on 1 January.
.
You can see the rest of the sneaks here that Sharmaine & I have done.

Sounds like a busy but fun time spent doing things together as a family. Love that photo of Aaron hunting for more chocolate in the advent calendar! Definitely one to scrap ;-)

Those apples look cute! :)

Had to laugh at Aaron looking for more choc :)

Wow you are scrapping up a storm ... I haven't touched a page for about a month now ... so much doing, and having house guests too ... yep, the sizing does sound a little odd for Maddisons togs - but I think it's an asian thing ...

er....how many watch shopping trips does lyndon do? lol

and oh talking about sizing, when becks was about 1 year we were already putting on her GAP swim suit for 4 year olds...so either becks and maddison must be monsters or the rest of the world are just too under fed? he he he....

I'm thinking that the stool is not going to be able to be left unattended with one wee man in the house ... lol.

Happy New Year to you all.
