Amanda....

Photos from Amanda's birthday on Friday... her precious bump is getting bigger, although Amanda may look tiny still, this is huge for her as she is such a tiny build!! Amanda received perfume & we bought her a new camera, didn't want her to miss out on taking photos once baby is here! Sam & Tayla were amazed at how big Amanda's tummy is getting, loved seeing them just being together... makes me very happy even a little teary! xx

Please excuse the poor quality of these photos... someone had been playing with my camera :p

The bump...


Pretty sure she liked it :)))


Our gorgeous girls...


A very rare event!!!


Cake time...

The View...

Here are the photos I took last Sunday! First up some of our room, Sunrise, looking straight down from 55 stories high made me feel quite ill!!! The views were amazing, you could see the clouds so well.. for some reason I could have sat there all day just watching the clouds!!! It's funny but looking out from here it was like seeing it for the very first time...


Our room...


Sunrise, just after 4.30am...


Not for the faint hearted, really does your head in looking straight down!!!


Looking South, the Q1...


To the North..


Just amazing looking out on this!!


Hubby enjoying the view...

More Christmassy goodness...

This time from my beautiful friend Dani all the way from Kentucky in the States!! Dani, thank you so much for my gorgeous new pj's, they will come in handy come winter time, I did have the a/c cranked up when Roy took the photo, it was around 9.30pm & still so hot!!! I also have a new addiction (like I needed another one!!) Reese's Peanut Butter Cups... what can I say except for... oh no Dani, what have you started LOL!! lucky for me they're from the States!! they are divine!! Dani, thank you so much for my Beauty Full gifts I absolutely LOVE them! :)))) xxxx




Samuel & Tayla wanted to be in the photo too, they wanted to show off their new Christmas Bears from Myers, but unfortunately you can't see them that well! They are very cute though :)

Our night away...

We had a great night away, we had lunch, coffee, dinner & then breakfast with no Mum, Dad, we're bored or are you ready yet or I'm hungry or thirsty lol!!! but we did miss the kids big time!! Our room was 37 stories up with views to the hinterland, Roy tried to get beach views but out of over 100 stories between 2 buildings they were fully booked! We did a little Christmas shopping, hubby bought me a gorgeous pair of black Sachi high heels.. he insisted... what's a girl to do :D Our time away went way too fast, so for our anniversary in Feb, we're hoping to get away for two nights! I will post some photos I took on Sunday from level 55!!!!! the views were amazing! Be back with that later, off to do more Christmas shopping!! xx

The view from our room, was really pretty once night fell..


A gondola cruising the waterways.. not a great shot, but we were 37 stories high!


Good old Hard Rock Cafe...


Christmas Tree in Surfer's Paradise..


A Louis Vuitton display, it really looked like the shoes etc. were floating in midair!


Night shot of where we were staying...


Relaxing in a beautiful bubble bath..


Couldn't relax without a glass of moscato.. pink of course...

Can you BELIEVE...

That it's only 9 days until Christmas!!! I'm NOT ready!! I've got so much to do & so little time to do it!! not to mention we've got one more birthday to celebrate before Christmas!! Amanda will be celebrating her birthday this Friday... 6 days before Christmas! It'll all get done I know it will, lucky the shops stay open a little later this time of year! Are you all ready for Christmas????
Here are some pics of our Christmas Tree & some of our new decorations & of course my boy!!
