It was so lovely to spend the weekend with my Mum and two sisters. We are all so alike, yet very different and our personalities definitley compliment each other. I remember when Dad had a stroke (which we thought was a heart attack at the time) and we were all at Mum & Dad’s house for the Christmas holidays. Mum went to the hospital with Dad, leaving us girls at home…it is hilarious to look back at our coping mechanisms: Carli – non-stop talking, making absolutely no sense. I whipped out the vacuum cleaner and proceeded to clean the house from top to bottom because I didn’t want Mum to have to come home to any housework and Filipa sat on the couch and cried! See what I mean about complimenting each other beautifully – at least we weren’t all fighting over the vacuum cleaner!
Filipa is a pure delight and always has been the lovely one of the family. And you could tell just how many people really do love her from the large gathering and lots of hugs and laughter at her baby shower.
Apart from the baby shower, we also went out for a delicious “girls only” dinner and ate way too much in our three course dinner that finished off with musical plates circulating around the table so that we could sample each others dessert! On Sunday night we visited the spectacular light show, Vivid Sydney and were awed by the amazing artistic transformation of the city. And Saturday saw us taking a trip to North Head lookout. The view of the city was out of this world.
And I’m not joking when I tell you it was one of the most windy days I’ve experienced in a long time…
It made us all go a little crazy!
Now, before I forget – I must share the winners of the Creative Card giveaway…
