A new year.......

Ok so it's now officially 2009, I would like to know where 2008 went????

Now is the time for all those resolutions and things that we are going to do this year, to be honest I have none. I know there are certain things I would like to achieve but in all honesty I have no resolutions.




On a dif note, we had a fabulous new years eve.

Our day started at 8:30am when we packed up and left on our 2hr drive to Sovereign Hill. We had the best day, and I mean the best. It was so so so much fun. We panned for Gold (and found some), had a horse and cart ride, walked and walked made candles, went underground (where some of us freaked out a little) made peg dolls and just had such a fun family time.



I think this visit was a bit of an eye opener for Mikyala She was shocked to see that some whole families lived in a tent or room smaller that her bedroom.




So we got home at dinner time last night, changed and then went straight back out for New years celebrations. We ended up only going to my parents place. This was actually really good, coz it meant that my kids were in bed by 8:30. Yes I know what a horrible mum. Leyana slept well, Mikyala was still awake at midnight so she got up and celebrated with us. She had a boogie and was part of the tradition or superstition of being the first foot (this is a Scottish thing). I will explain, the first foot is the first person to come over your doorstep after midnight. With them they must bring Coal, Food, Drink and money. All of this meaning that you will always have warmth, plenty to eat and drink and money in your purse. I remember always being kicked out at 11:59 to be my Nanna's first foot when I was a child.

We had such a great night with awesome food and great family and friends.

So I am looking forward to many changes in 2009. And lots of new adventures.

Until next time
