Hope the weather holds off...

More storms predicted tonight... last night was finally a quiet one... I'm sure Energex, SES and other emergency crew were grateful for a night's rest.

This morning we've put up our Christmas tree... a week earlier than we normally would, but we're over-compensating for not being able to put it up last year. We had a great time putting it up and Beth has been really good around the tree... She helped put the baubles on it... and she only touches the decorations gently once they're on the tree ... I had heard lots of stories from EB of people with toddlers who put their tree in playpen so their kids can't destroy it, or just abandon the whole Christmas tree idea until the kids are older... so I think we're lucky that Beth is reasonably sensible... Well, as sensible as you can get at 2 years old. I did buy a whole heap of shatter-proof ornaments yesterday though ... just for safety's sake...

We're heading over to our neighbours house for a street bbq/party tonight... It'll be nice to meet a few more people from our street... So, a heads up for the family, we may or may not be on Skype tonight for a chat... depends on how long it takes for Beth to wig out... :p... We tried calling everybody last night, but seems everyone had things to do...
