New Lynn Santa Parade 2012

Ho ho ho ho! It's December 1 -

Christmas is almost here!!

Today was an awesome day.

We caught the bus from Glen Eden to New Lynn 

(Sarah's first bus ride)

for the New Lynn Santa Parade/Street Party.

We had an awesome time. 

It was a very hands on and interactive party 

so Sarah had a great time trying her hand 

at so many things.

First bus ride delight

Bouncy castle - again and again and again and ........

Merry Christmas!

Daily photo challenge - week 48 is complete

Amongst all the busy-ness, this week has been bliss.

The highlights have been our fun weekends, 

a successful surprise birthday party for Brian,

a beautiful evening at football, 

and catching up with good friends.

Here are some images from this week.........

Daily photo challenge - week 47 is complete

Well - I've finally managed to get this blog posted - EVENTUALLY!

For the last 46 weeks I've managed to, give or take, post my blog on time.

But not this time.

I went to post it on Saturday night, only to find that,

without warning, 

my blog had reached some kind of magical limit 

and I could no longer post ANYTHING.

Grrr - I only have five weeks of this challenge to go. 

What terrible timing.

I tried deleting numerous pages and posts.

Still no luck.

I considered buying more data - but was it worth it for five more weeks?

The next plan was to create a whole new blog.

So here I am - Mel's 366 days - part 2.
