Wouldn't You Like To Be An Aussie Too?

In celebration of Australia Day, which is today,
this is me in my Grade 5 school uni
from when I attended school in Australia in 1984.

I loved my experience there,
and I love the fact that I have ties to that AMAZING Country.
So to all you Aussies out there,
especially my Mum,
Happy Australia Day!

Family Memories instead of Toys

A month ago

we were celebrating Christmas, as a family,
but in a very different way.

The hubby and I decided this past Christmas to surprise the kids
and take them on a trip for their Christmas gift,
instead of doing the traditional gifts at home.

We pulled off the surprise
and spent a wonderful 5 days in sunny southern California.

The kids didn't realized where we were going until we were in the parking lot of

Legoland.

Over the next few days this is how we spent our time.

Fun Fun Fun
and GREAT Family Memories
that I know will last a lot longer than more toys.
