Time to rest & relax!

Yay! Now we really are on holidays! All the end of year school, dance, and bowling concerts and parties are finished with for another year. Finally we can spend a few idol days floating around in our pool, relaxing under the hot summer sun. Can't wait! But first I promised to show you some photo's. I wasn't allowed to take the camera into the auditorium (security almost tackled me to the ground! lol), so I got a couple of photo's in the dressing rooms. Let me just tell you, it was HOT and CHAOTIC in there! Costumes and dance shoes flying everywhere! I spent half the night spraying hairspray on all those heads who forgot to bring their own, and the other half running around like a headless chook! lol. So here's a photo of Precious Princess in her favourite costume, a Charleston dress. The rest of the costumes I just laid out on her bed today and took a photo for you. It was such a crazy night and I was running back and forth from the dressing rooms where I'd help her get dressed, then race back over to the hall to watch the dance, then back to the dressing room again......over & over! So sometimes the camera got left behind on my seat...........sorry! Anyway the concert went really well, everyone enjoyed the night tremendously, especially the kids, so it was worth every effort to see their proud and happy faces up there dancing all night!

Then this morning was the Christmas break-up party at the bowling alley. Precious Princess is a part of a teenage 10 pin bowling league, this was her first year with the league, and she has enjoyed it very much. It was a family party, where we played a couple of games of bowls, played party games, had lunch, then had the awards presentation ceremony. Can you just imagine how shocked and excited my family was when Precious won 3 trophies! One was for Highest Game Score Over All, one was for Most Improved, and one was for High Achievement. We were totally not expecting to win anything being as it was her first year, but she's done so well and enjoyed it every week, so I guess that has paid off. We're just so proud of her! Thank you for letting me have a mummy brag today, I really wanted to share our beautiful daughter's success with you too! Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend with your loved ones too.
