3 more sleeps until Chrimbo!!
excitement is mounting in the Darge household! lol! blogging got pushed to the bottom of the priorities list over the last 10 days or so...not enough hours in the day and all that!

The advent activites have included the boys cooking dinner for Mum and Dad and creating a restaurant...they did a wicked job...decorated the table with flowers and candles and they made a menu and napkin rings out of pipe cleaners...so cute and they did a pretty awesome job on the dinner too...Pasta with mince bolognaise sauce and veges followed by jelly, fruit and icecream for dessert with Mum overseeing the proceedings...

What else did we do...a Harry Potter style treasure Hunt...a pajama party where we watched

...of course....Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone...he's the new hero of the moment and even surpasses *gasp* Ben 10!! and some other things which I can't remember off hand now lol!

Of course the big event of the last week was Aunty Celia and Uncle Matt arriving from the UK ....they have hired an MX5 convertible while they are here and so one of the weeks advent cards was to arrive at school in style lol...Joseph lapped it up being dropped at the gates with the top down...P was a bit self-conscious about the whole affair and Matt said he got out of the car and ran for it lol! The boys havn't been shy with them one bit, even Samuel who had never met them before which is just lovely to see! Anyway here are a few pics...sorry its taken so long to get them up here Gran and Pop!!!

Celia has a few more of our day out today lunching at the beach in Paihia..so will try and upload them off her camera and add too over the next few days....they are starting to look very relaxed now and are sporting a bit of a tan already after the sun got them (through the clouds!)and turned them a bit pink on their first day here... Jim whacked off a few leaves of Aloe and we slathered them in the juice to take the sting out.

No Scrapping being done til next year now!!

Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS all!!
