I can still remember the hype around the turning of the milennium and I wonder how the years have flown by so quickly!
Suffice to say that our Festive Season was a relatively quiet experience for us, this year. And there were no complaints about it!
We celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary together, for starters! With P-J's hectic December schedule, that was a treat in itself! We also bid farewell to our visiting du Plessis family who returned to a snowy and cold Vermont just before Christmas eve.
On Christmas Day our families made a collaborate effort for lunch and we enjoyed tasty dishes prepared by the attendees! Now if ever I saw a good idea for mass meals with partial prepping! For afternoon tea we visited with the rest of our Geduld family and after a day of celebrating, we were tucked into bed by 22h00. (Strategic, of course, so that we will survive the rest of the season and the activities that it brings!)
I was fortunate to spend a week at home, with Jorja. Unfortunately P-J had to work for most of the week, but the rest from routine was definitely welcome and I discovered that Jorja has progressed to a bright and busy girl! If I got a lightbulb for every time I tidied up one of her tricks, our house would've been shining like the Adderley Street Christmas lights!
For New Years weekend, we travelled to Kagga Kama Private Game Reserve in the Cedarberg with the Klaasen and O'Ryan families. What a peaceful place - bar Jorja's shrieks in delight as she splashed in the water, chased the flies and scored tickles and cuddles from all of the company! What a wonderful way to celebrate this time...
