Lily, all dressed up for night one of her first dance recital - filling up on lollies (a staple backstage apparently!)
All the preschoolers ready to go...actually, three of them have already started school and the other four start in term one next year, hopefully lots of little girls want to start next year!
The official photo shoot
This is night two when we all went as audience and sat right in the front row...you're not allowed to take photos or videos as it might distract the dancers - surely it's fine then without the flash...bit blurry though. I love this one of Stella (middle in pink)
Blurry Lily in the middle - these are during their ballet, 'own choreography'
Then Tuesday night was Lachie's academic prizegiving at school - you can only see a tiny bit of his head but this is receiving his Year 1 certificate from the CHB mayor
Lined up for applause...
Then we did lots of other busy things, but had two nights off parties! Thursday was morning tea at playcentre followed by a 'fancy' Christmas lunch at kindy, which Lachie came to too as school had just broken up.
Lined up for applause...Then we did lots of other busy things, but had two nights off parties! Thursday was morning tea at playcentre followed by a 'fancy' Christmas lunch at kindy, which Lachie came to too as school had just broken up. Last night we went to Hastings for a carols concert then they were supposed to be turning on the fiesta of lights - FEW technical difficulties but thankfully I didn't see anyone fall in the lake! So we'll have to go back another day when they've it all sorted out. Kids enjoying glowsticks and finger lights...
And if you're wondering why Lachie has a pink fringe...he was helping me mark out the deck yesterday with the pink animal marker spray that Mike bought instead of dazzle, Lachie was trying to make it go - he then got a lecture about how close that was to his eyes...but looks kinda cool!-*-
School's over for a while, Lily had her last kindy day yesterday, Mike's having his last day at work today, Eden's all set for Monday, and Tuesday they can all do whatever they like as I'm having a big "cake day" - can't wait!
