New Years Eve

First we went to have dinner with friends.

Then off to the party in the park to watch the fireworks.

Alex enjoyed the fireworks.

But before too long it became obvious he wasn't going to make it all the way to midnight.

Happy New Year to all!

Class of 08 Get Together

Alex went to meet some old school friends at the pub last night.

He really enjoyed catching up with some people he hasn't seen in quite a while.

Christmas 2009

Alex had a good time over Christmas, seeing some of his family and friends.

There were some familiar and unfamiliar scenes...

Even some swimming in the rain for the exceptionally keen/ foolhardy.

Lots of food & drink- too much of course.

Cards & games

And the usual Boxing Day photos before everyone went their separate ways.

Birthday Celebration

We went out last night to a birthday celebration for our dear friend, Em.

Alex was in a party mood as you can see from the cheeky grin.

It was his kind of gathering- the 'hands-on' type. With lots of his very favourite people.

Who sing great songs. And any party that ends up with loud singing and table-thumping is fine by him!! If you're happy and you know it, you SHOULD clap your hands!

Family Lunch

Today we went down to the mountains for a lunch with the extended family. We won't all be together for Christmas this year as usual, so we had a catch up over lunch before Christmas Day.

As usual, Alex had a great time catching up with all of his extended family.

December Markets

Markets tomorrow.

Lots of new stuff...paintings, collages, cards, Xmas cards, tags and bags.
