good bye 2011

the arrival of our little friend...'chops'
my beautiful friend mady (+ her boys) visited & we spent some fabulous time together... 
we are loving our little cottage...has loads of character!
flowers from our garden collected for the christmas day table... 
a collection of snaps from the holidays...i hope you had a wonderful festive season and may 2012 be a great year for you!

my new year will be full to the brim with my beloved family & friends, good food, delicious wine, possibly a holiday thrown in, a sleep in past 8am (havn't had 1 in 8yrs)...and both my girls being in school together!  no more double drop-offs...
after 4 months living here i am getting used to the weather...it can change in minutes!
love my rope lights at christmas! 
christmas day roasted chook was delicious
there has been a lot of these over the season...thoroughly enjoyed every drop!
afternoon light up our cottage hallway...
discovered twenty&six espresso at north melbourne...love everything they do!
drinks with a good friend in the garden
our christmas day dessert...jamies christmas pudding strudel! it was delicious
plenty of home time with the children over the holidays...

I feel like I've been hanging out with you, after looking at all the pics. They're fantastic! I love the shot of 'chops' best. I love him/her!
Happy New Year! Hope 2012 is off to a great start.
