December 12 {Thankful #12}

{ Blog 25 days of being Thankful..... this as a way of staying focused on the good , happy and pleasing moments....

it's a way of acknowledging all that we take for granted, all that we sometimes overlook as we let busyness take over.}

Today I am thankful for.......

So many things .....

A Young lady that graduated from Year 7 today...... 

I was slightly emotional as  we saw the students enter and take their place.......

Wow ...where has all the time gone.....

Meg has done us proud with her work ethic and friends she has chosen along the way......

After the formalities it was home to prepare for the dinner /dance in the evening.....

nails, hair, dresses a little makeup......

They all looked stunning and oh were they excited!

They danced the evening away ....

and created some lasting memories to tuck away  of friends ,teachers and fun times.....

and we did it all without too many dramas and melt downs......

Funny hearing them say how much their "high heels" were making their feet hurt after all that dancing....

I am also very thankful for......

A new nephew born in amongst the midst of all the glamour and ceremonies.......

We are so pleased to welcome...

Flynn Thomas Owens into our family 

My baby sister did an awesome job! 

Baby number five for her...the other 4 babies were with us for the short wait.

And now this is one tired mumma and auntie who needs to say goodnight. xxx
