Well not to sure where that time went but its 2013 now, Happy Christmas New Year Merry!!!!
So where still in good old Hedland but happy to tell you, we have a bit of a plan... Where house sitting for some friends from beginning of March to the start of April!!!! After that...well who knows!
Wow! So much has happened since we last blogged! Hmmm where to start? Well it was mid Oct we last wrote, so since then we've celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Pre-Christmas Christmas, Christmas Eve, Christmas, Visited 80 mile Beach, Girls Night, Back to 80 Mile and New Years!
Halloween was great, everyone dressed up, the food and decorations were super spooky and we had the pleasure of meeting Claire and Dale! Thanksgiving was next and we had our amazing cul-de-sac crew all together, delicious feast and we got to be thankful we've made such fabulous new friends! Then we had Liz (Daniels Mum) visit for a week, showed her around and she was in time for our Pre-Christmas Christmas! We had this so we can celebrate with our crew before everyone took off in their own separate ways to celebrate Christmas! A great feast, we also secret-santaed, so everyone was spoilt with a gift and then drank and sang the night away on sing-star! Next we celebrated Christmas Eve with our wonderful South African friends Mel, Adriaan, Melieze and family, it's their tradition to celebrate Christmas and open presents on Christmas Eve, so much fun! Then Christmas arrived (I know it's such a cliche to say but can you believe Christmas has gone again, already)?? Haha Anyway it was fantastic to be up here to celebrate with Rohy and Michael, we missed the family heaps but a Pilbara Christmas for 2012 was just what it was meant to be! We got spoilt with lots of presents, time together, calls and love from all the family, doesn't get any better then that! :) Then we had a long awaited visit from Jan!!!! (Dans sister), she was here for just under a week and we hardly slept! For a place that doesn't have much to do... Well we found LOTS to do! The day she flew in, we hit the town hedland style for a girls night! Was so much fun!!! A nice dinner, then the pier! In fact so good we decided to keep the waiter... Haha the morning after our fabulous girls night we went and picked up the waiter we had newly friended, Dylan, and took him to Finnucane Island to do some fishing... then kept him that night... then took him to 80 mile beach with us the next day! Mel and Adriaan also came bringing the quad bikes, we did some fishing, bbqing and shell collecting!
Although, the car made it 100% known, that it doesn't want to cruise anymore, until it has a new engine - Grrr!
When the day was over, we dropped D-man back at home and it was New years we saw him again ... His own free will... Haha! New Years was our last big celebration, great night, we all drank a bit and partied into the new year happily with our amazing new friends! Currently we've got Mom here for a visit and loving every minute!
So, throughout this visit and all the celebrating we've done a bit of fishing with friends! We've kept Xander entertained by taking him to the kids club and storytime which is how we've met all Xander's friends Melieze, Riley, Zoe, Damien, Ebony & Phoebe!
And in between all our fun up here we snuck a quick trip back to Perth in, to organize house stuff and see family and friends!
Our visit is getting closer to an end here in the Pilbara but with still so much planned with friends, it's hard to think about the end, when where still enjoying the holiday so much! Best decision we've ever made!
Still to come: Rohys 23rd Birthday Disney Party! dress up of course ;) Claire & Dales "cul-der-sac crew pilbara engagement party BBQ"
Lots of Cul-Der-sac crew gatherings, Always catching up with Mel for a coffee and a chat!!! March is Xander's birthday! Meliezes Fairy Party in March too, And most of the other kids birthdays too! Haha and who knows what else!
