It's Christmas Day tomorrow and on Boxing Day my family are going to our friend's farm for New Year's Eve and there will be lots of babies and also Victoria the Goat is pregnant and so is Penelope the cow.

Muffins, Jigsaw Puzzle, Christmas Tree and Coco Pops

Hey everyone,
Here are a few photos that I took this morning :)
Enjoy

 A Jigsaw puzzle my sister is doing, she loves doing them and sometimes I help, so far I'm helping her with this one. By the way, my is 2 years younger then me.

Chocolate-choc-chip muffins my sister made, and I was the taste tester when they were finished, my sister and I might make another batch and I will include the recipe. I promise

 I cover the muffins with a tea towel so the flies don't land on the muffins and eat them!!!!

 No matter how healthy you are you can't beat Coco Pops, Or can you????

Our beautiful Christmas Tree

Christmas Time

Hey guys,
Here are a few snapshots that I took today when the sun started to go down. As you can see it is now December, which is where we celebrate the birth Of Jesus as well as the time of giving and sharing. Hope you enjoy the pictures :)

A Christmas Calendar my Mum made, which I find very crafty :)

My Christmas stocking my Mum made. She made my sister's stocking and mine :)

My sister's stocking

My sister's name up close "ELEANOR".

A few Christmas themed decorations

 Our dogs stocking ( they share a stocking since they don't get lots of presents, but every Christmas they do get a few things) :)

 Our brother Erich, I found this small photo frame at Myer as a Tree decoration and decided to get a small photo of him and hang it up on the Christmas Tree. (Our brother got killed in a car crash on the 12th of June 2011 at 10:30pm while he was heading to a music festival with friends at Ballarat, Melbourne and he was only 24 years old. He was a passenger and this photo was when he was in High School)

 Christmas candle lights on the window :)

 Another Christmas countdown calendar (what we do is when we wake up we, pull out the box with the date and hang the decoration on the tree) :)

 Another Christmas decoration we have on the tree, I saw it and asked my to buy it. It says "Dear Santa, Leave the presents, take my sister" lol

 My Brother's Urn, after the funeral, his body was burnt and put into an urn so he can be with us.

 Another beautiful Christmas decoration

 Besse with her tennis ball, we are going to get her a few more for Christmas as well as a soft toy, since she prefers to lick them and then rip them slowly. I promise I will film it to show you all :)

Cherry my baby girl, who is 5 years old

If you want to send me your sympathy due to my brother's death, please go on my profile and then you will see my e-mail address. By the way I am still in a bit of denial since I hardly saw him because I live in Queensland and he lived in Melbourne, since that is where I came from :)

Dog Tip of the Day: Pups Prefer Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin is very good for dogs, and dogs usually want a piece of pie. Make your dog his very own dog-friendly pie and he'll never come begging for yours.

Whip together 1 can pumpkin (not pie mix), 3 eggs (free-range), half a cup of skim milk (or unsweetened soy milk), half a cup of brown sugar (it is a holiday!), and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Pour into a wholewheat pie shell and bake at a preheated 375 degrees F for 60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. You're dogs pumpkin pie will be rich and not to sweet.

Enjoy the Pie

Remembrance Day
