Gift Giving

GIfts for Annie's kids

I had so much fun putting together gift bags for Annie’s 3 kids. I just had to buy the melamine Christmas Koala plates – too cute.

And for Annie…

Gift for Annie

I packed them into some reusable shopping bags.

Gifts for girls

In return the girls and I were VERY spoilt by Annie.

Halloween goodies from Annie Gifts from Annie

I still don’t know how she managed to fit ALL THAT in the bag!!! I love it all, esp the gorgeous scarecrow. We already found a home for him.

New decorations

Here’s a photo of the girls opening the little bags Annie made up for them – full of lots of fun Halloween stuff. So fun that they got to open them on Halloween morning.

3rd Annual Halloween Party

Halloween Party 08

Last night we had our 3rd Halloween Party (which means we have now lived in our home for three years). It was a great night, though the weather wasn’t the best. It was cool, but didn’t rain and most of the kids still went in the pool (which was probably still warm from the disgustingly hot day we had on Friday). We had nearly around 35 guests and everyone seemed to have a great time, with most getting into the spirit of dressing up.

Here’s the home all decorated.
