Today we actually did stuff. Not much, but enough to make it a reasonably exciting day. I went with Mum and Dad to pick up Dad's car (he had a work party yesterday and got dropped home) and Dad and I quickly went into the office to grab some stuff while Mum went home. While we were there, we noticed a big package on Dad's desk. We opened it, and discovered that the Christmas presents we had ordered Mum, Grandma and Aunty Helen (from www.whateverittakes.org - it's a good site) had finally arrived. Feeling very excited, we went home (via Subi to pick up a wireless thing for the computer and some wrapping paper).By the time we got home it was noon-ish, so Mum went to bed for a nap, the boys played PlayStation, Dad did some gardening and I had a lot of presents to wrap - Lily, Jack and Uncle Tony's birthday presents and Grandma, Aunty Helen and Mum's Christmas present.
With all the presents wrapped and under the tree, I went and got ready to go to Lily's 4th birthday party.
We got there about 5 minutes early, so we helped Aunty Ann ice the cakes (they looked pretty good, if we get any photos then I'll upload them), gave Lily her present (a rashie to match the togs Aunty Ann and Uncle Tom had gotten her and jumped in the pool.
Soon after, Aunty Mer, Em, Tom, Maggie and Finn all arrived, and all the kids got in the pool (except for Em, who's somewhere in between a kid and adult). We were playing Marco Polo, and Tom was it, and me and Maggie were sort of watching Lily to make sure she didn't drown, but mostly playing the game. Tom called Marco, and heard someone reply Polo near where Lily happened to be, so he did a massive dive in that general area, and landed right on her.
Considering she was probably a bit traumatised after having a very tall 14-year-old jump on her, me and Maggie took her out of the pool and the boys soon followed suit. A little while after getting out, Mel, Julian, Clea and Ella came, followed closely by Uncle Tony, Jack and Rose (Sam is sick). We just mucked around after that - watched some Power Rangers, threw some stuff at each other, ate cake, etc., etc. The photo is of most of the girls leaving Lily's room with her because she scraped her knee - she's a bit of a princess, but an adorable princess.
Unfortunately, we had to leave early, because we thought Patrick, Anna, Michael and Daniel were coming over for dinner, but it turns out they didn't because Michael was asleep.
So now we're home and just watching a movie on TV (Back To The Future 3).
