t'was the week before Christmas ....

I am soooo disorganised this Christmas!
Really looking forward to Xmas Day ('cause i love Chrissy and all) but i just can't get motivated.
It may have a little bit to do with our rediculously busy social calendar (not complaining ... but just a little too chaotic at the moment)!

2 Weekends ago we had 4 Christmas Parties and 1 Birthday Party, last weekend was finishing off the Christmas shopping ... Sunday night we finally put up the Christmas tree (which still doesn't have any decorations on it - certainly hope to have that task accomplished by Christmas Eve!!); in between all of that we have had school Christmas Concert and farewell for our principal. Yesterday i had a Hearing at Newcastle for work, back to the office then back to Newcastle in the afternoon, Yr 6 farewell in the afternoon/evening and DH had his work party .... 3 Christmas social gatherings this weekend ... did i mention that i've been feeling a little tired lately?? But it is all good - i do love Christmas, i do love Christmas, i do love Christmas ...... !!

In all this busyness, i have had no time for scrapbooking :O( but do have a few pics from Blake's Christmas (School) Concert to share (it was a bit dark in the auditorium which made it a bit tricky!).

This group photo is Blake and the main group of his best mates. To the left is our retiring principal (who is a lovely man and will be sadly missed) ... to the right is Blake's teacher from this year - Mrs Mac (as the kids affectionately call her) came to our school this year but is moving on to a new school next year ... Blake has had a fabulous year with this great lady and i think i speak for most parents when i say we were blessed to have the year with her - Blake was quite upset this afternoon and has been for the past few weeks dwelling on the fact that it just won't be the same without Mrs Mac as school next year (even though she probably wouldn't have been his teacher anyway).




Cheeky buggers!




This photo is a little blurry but it says a lot about a principal happy to sit on the stage after the concert and have a chat with the boys.




I'm frazzled and off to bed .... hopefully will be back in the next day or so to share a pic of our decorated Christmas Tree !!

Cheers,
JULIE x

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family Julie. Sounds like you finally have the tree at least under control :). Hope the next few days are less stressful for you.

Take care.
