Haymans Electrical Ball

Ok, so we headed off to Brisbane on Saturday around lunchtime, after soccer. We stopped in at Chermside and had a bite to eat before we headed into the city. Haymans put us up at The Sofitel - just gorgeous. We took our bags upstairs and then came back down and had a hot chocolate in the bar area.
Here we are ready to head to the ball. I wore a chiffon black dress by Events that I bought at the DFO for $29.50 - very proud of that purchase. Ali wore a suit he also bought from the DFO at a reduced price. His shirt was mauve as was his tie and I was so surprised to see that it was the 'in' colour for men!!
Here is Ash - he is our store Manager, the one who asked us along. The theme for the ball was Little Black Number and this is what Ash wore. He is as bald as a badger but there were black feather boas decorating the tables so of course they ended up on people's heads. It was very funny.
This is Ali and Adam - no, they've never met before, but you wouldn't know it lol How much does Adam look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I couldn't help calling him that.
Had to get the self portrait in later in the night - in fact I went around our 2 tables and took photos with everyone - I have NO idea why??? There were approx 500 people at the ball, the band consisted of 5 guys singing and other on instruments, the alcohol flowed freely all night and we landed in bed at 2.30am. Great night - thanks Ash xx

Wowzer, it has been a little while since I last posted - geez I have been a bit slack, or is that a bit busy??? Anyway, I wanted to post these pics of the boys Ali took them in our front yard against the block/rendered wall in the late afternoon. Great silhouettes I reckon! The top one is Ethan and the bottom one is Harrison.
Here is a pic of Harrison with his Grandma. They came over for dinner and Harrison was happy to have his pic taken, Ethan wasn't so obliging.
My nephew Joshua (red hair) celebrated his first birthday at the beginning of May. He had such a great day down at the park. He is such a cutie!
Here is Joshua pulling such a cute face - don't you just want to give him a big cuddle (well, maybe after the birthday cake is wiped away LOL)
I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately. I still have a couple to download from Harrison's sharing day at school and him in his super student cape (yes, we are soooo proud!!)
Only 5 weeks until we hit the snow fields. Ski season opened yesterday and there has been NO snowfall - all manmade so far. They are predicting a great snow season, so fingers crossed it will be all good. Can't wait to see our friends Katie and Anthony and their kids - it's been a while and we always have such a good time together.

I hope everyone is well. Take care xx
