The year is winding down...

The end of year celebrations have revved up a notch in the last few weeks...

Wednesday of last week was particularly busy. In the morning the Albany Creek Knit and Natter group celebrated at the last meet up for 2014...

Barbara brought along her beautifully knitted Santa...

And the sweetest little bunny...

Helen had been busy joining squares...a never ending job! Lol

Then it was time to head off to my next stop

Sisters of Stitch, the fortnightly craft group at Chermside Library were celebrating with a Christmas party on Wednesday afternoon...the buffet table had quite a sumptuous spread...

 Saturday was the next busy day for celebrating...

Grovely Knit and Natter in the morning...

Always lots of fun at Grovely...Lorelle keeps us all in order though...lol

I 'annoy' her by always taking lots of photos...

Then my friend ( from my school days) picked me up and we both drove to Shornecliffe a beach suburb of Brisbane. Our destination was this place...

But it's not a Masonic Hall any more...it's a lovely restaurant called Matthew Thomas. There were four of us school mates meeting for a Christmas lunch. From our table we could see the sea...

We may be ladies in our 60s but we do what a lot of young people do...take photos of restaurant and cafe food! Lol.

And here's my delicious lunch...Noosa Whiting and salad...it was beautifully cooked.

Valerie gave each of us a beautiful wooden reindeer ornament...we lined them up for a photo...of course! 

Lastly, more photos before we headed for home.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. DH and I will host a Christmas dinner for 2 of our girls with husband and partner. On Christmas Day DH and I will celebrate with his brother and his family. On Boxing Day we will celebrate with my brother and any of his family who are around...phew...but there's more! On Boxing Day DH's eldest and her partner will arrive to stay with us until Jan 2. Because they will be so busy catching up with her Brisbane friends and her mum,  Christmas dinner with them and a few other rellies, won't be until Dec 29. 

Merry Christmas everyone!
