The end of a year!

We ended 2009 in a day full of laughs, smiles and fun!
We started the morning with a houseful....... Tony was mowing our lawn so Dominic brought his mower up to help Uncle Tony. Tasha was looking after the twins and Jhorjie came along to play as well so at one stage I was sitting in the lounge room with 7 kids! It was slightly overwhelming but it was quite nice as well. There was lots of activity, lots of noise, laughs, giggles...... and in the middle of it....... 2 boys quietly playing their DS's. Hehe don't think even a bomb would have moved them. Then in the afternoon Tony, the kids and I headed over to Berry for their New Years Eve Festival. The festival was slightly disappointing. They had a few sideshows and 3 or 4 stalls but that was it so we wandered up to IGA in Berry to get a loaf of bread and a hot chook and then went back to the showground and set up our chairs and picnic rug and sat and listened to the "entertainment" Hhhhmmm I guess the best word for it was mediocre! But we had a fun time. We sat and chatted, played games, just generally mucked around.

And then...... what Tasha (yeah okay and her mum ~L~) had been waiting for - FIREWORKS. For a small country town they were very very impressive. Went for about 7 - 8 minutes and there was some really cool rockets and fireworks that we hadn't seen before - Well worth the wait.

Then we came home - Tony went to bed and the kids and I stayed up - got the sparklers out and played with those whilst we waited for the midnight fireworks to come on TV.
