Tash preparing the cupcakes...Gen making coffee's.

Chris painting Harriet's face...

Asha and Ziggy painting Todd's face...

....the girls enjoying the craft table...

...and the boys....Ethan and his cousin Alby....making glitter stars for their Christmas tree.

Keeping the candles alight...Will's arm is in a sling, he broke his elbow yesterday...it didn't stop him enjoying his special day.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Will

Flynn and cousin Theo enjoying their cup cake...cakes , I think...

Playing Battleships ...... Will could do that with one hand.

Playing another game with Uncle Brad and Harriet....

Pete and I visited the Protea Farm on the way home....

Bought some beautiful flowers...

The beautiful Tuart forest ...such pleasant drive.

 

Dunsborough foreshore...Pete and I drove down today....Had a refreshing swim...

Staying with Mandy and Graeme tonight.....Will's birthday party tomorrow.

 

Christmas present shopping at Karrinyup Shopping Centre...

Treated myself to a manicure and pedicure ...almost ready for Christmas.

 

That time of year again when we, Saturday beach walkers celebrate Christmas and friendship with a delicious brunch. I forgot to take a photo of all of us. This photo will remind me of the enjoyable morning at Margot's house.

Sunset this evening....

 

Pete received this certificate at Sir Charles Gairdner hospital today for all the driving he has done over the years, taking patients to and from the hospital. I am so proud of him.

 

After a fabulous Christmas morning tea at the gym I headed over to Studio Black to have my hair coloured and cut. It will be my last appointment with Ashleigh for some time as her twins are due in February. 

Ash has been my hairdresser for over 17 years ( I think)....and a good friend.

.....looking very tidy with my short hair cut I went to Pam's house to have nibbles and drinks with my Mahjong friends...it was our last get-together for the year. 

Pam and Helen...good buddies

Jean's granddaughter took this photo of us all (except Gay who is sick)...Pam, Shirley, Genny, Helen, Jean, me, Rebecca and Sheridan. I am loving the game mahjong and really enjoy my time with these ladies.

 

A few photos of our flowering gum trees on the golf course. Above is a Eucalyptus Macranda

....and Corymbia Ficifolia or red flowering gum...

This red flowering gum has flowers that are more orange than red...
