Party On



Its been a crazy weekend. The rotten weather on Saturday meant that I volunteered to host our Ante Natal Group Christmas Party at our house. 11 toddlers later and the house looked like someone had sprinkled sausage roll pastry over every available surface. Here's a couple of photos for starters and I'll post a few more piccies on Facebook.

After a short 20 minute gap (just enough time to do a preliminary clean up) the next party started - lunch for Ralph & Ronel who were visiting Durbs for a week. Plus Brenda, Holger, Mark, Jan, Thomas and all the kids pitched up for mezze and a few beers followed by a late afternoon trip to the beach. Anya loved the waves and the kids had so much fun that we decided to hit the beach again on Sunday morning. This was followed by a braai at Brenda & Holger's, then Adventsfeier. I have to confess to being a bit confused by the lack of Advent bonfire (feuer) as opposed to Advent celebration (feier) however, there were tea and cakes served after the church service and Hermann got to sing ?! All in all it was a very exciting weekend and Anya was so exhausted by the time we got home that we even managed to change her nappy without her waking up.
