Today I went out with Clare for lunch while Ben looked after the kids then came home and got stuck into the family tree Ben and I are doing for Gran & Pops 66th Wedding Anniversary. It is coming along so nicely!! Ben built the box to go behind the frame I bought and I have completed the leaves with all the names :) I think it looks really good and know they will LOOOVVVEEE IT!!I have also ordered a few miniature dolls house props that I am impatiently waiting to come in the mail just to give everything a bit of life! once all the props go in it will be ready to give to Gran and Pop :) I can't wait!
Here's a few sneak peak photo's, it's a bit hard to get a good photo once the glass goes onbecause of the reflection but you'll get it.

UPDATE: Ok so the frame ended up being really difficult so we made it as a standing version!! I love how it turned out and the grandparents were so thrilled. We added some fake turf and little dolls house accessories :)
So I caught up with my girlfriend Kylie for some much needed time away from the kids :) I dropped Max to kinder and Ben looked after Jayden for me while I went and indulged in some YUMMMMYYY Max Brenner waffles with chocolate, strawberries & icecream and a cookies and cream shake oooohhhh delicious!! Just what I needed!! Thanks to my wonderful husband Ben for having the kids and thanks to the beautiful Kylie for such lovely company :)
I then headed to the craft superstore spotlight which was a HUUUGGGEEE mistake lol. I wanted to pick up some supplies for the family tree I'm making for Ben's grandparents and ended up nearly buying the whole shop ekkk!!
I have spent the afternoon reorganizing my craft table to fit all the new goodies I picked up at spotlight.Ialso started gluing sticks together to form my family tree, looks so good so far and can't wait to get some leaves onto it :)
I'll post a sneak peak pic at my wonderful craft table that my awesome husband put together using kitchen cabinets and a wooden table top! There is cupboards and draws on 3 sides with loads of space for all my crafty stuff :) I'm such a lucky wife!
I am still in the processes of painting the bottom boards and I want to add some chalkboard paint to the front so I can write on it but It's still a work in progress & trying to find the time lol
Ahhhhh so yesterday I was due for my monthly and no sign! It runs like clockwork each month so I decided to take a test even though I wasn't technically late yet hahaha. Everyone was talking about how I could be pregnant with a honeymoon baby even though I wasn't late for my period but it had me paranoid so anyway so be it...
Ben wasn't home for the news but I rang him, work decided to keep him 5 extra days and I was waaaayyyy to impatient to wait to tell him hahaha! We are both thrilled but still early days, so only a few selected people know and the family and rest of our friends will find out once we have an ultrasound picture :)
Officially MRS MCGREGOR here :) Ok so the day was perfect everything was amazing, I really don't know what to say other then I have truly married the one I love :)
Here are some sneak peek photo's from the photographer, there are way to many to put them all in a post but I will try and add them to my website gallery eventually :)
Ok I'm going to make this quick! I am so exhasted after a loooong day, just wanted to share photo's.
It was a great day and Max enjoyed every minute of it. Of course he crashed at the end of the day and straight to bed without a peep :) Also just want to say a huge thanks to wonderful family and friends who helped make the day so special for my big boy :)
Ok so I'm about 25 days late for a Christmas blog but thought I'd mention I have an awesome Christmas! We ended up getting cond into having it at our place so ended up cooking for 13 ppl. Considering I have never cooked a roast before, lunch was a huge success! The lamb came out just perfectly and the vibe and atmosphere was really festive!
We had decorated the table and wore aprons and reindeer ears! We had Christmas carols playing and everything was just wonderful everyone had a great time!
In the morning the kids enjoyed opening there presents! We decided not to give them to many presents as we want them to understand the true meaning of Christmas! We agreed to 3 presents each! One present from us, one preset from each other and one from santa. Not to mention everything else from everyone else so they had more then enough presents under the tree.
Max was happy to leave some carrots for the reindeer and milk and cookies for santa! We left a note for Max from Santa and half eaten cookies which was cute!
All in all was a great day and cant wait for next year :)
Oh before I forget to mention! We had Santa photos taken and discovered Jayden HATES Santa, makes for a funny photo though screaming his heart out!
Will attach some pics, not many since pain to upload.
I am dedicating this blog entry to all the wonderful memories with my beautiful kids and just some of the silly things they do! A life time of memories to cherish forever.
I will be updating this blog post as new videos are taken of their special moments.
