hmmm. Not such a good idea for crazy neat freak me, asking the boys to help make a whole lotta chrissy delights today for all Chadd's new work people who are coming here on Thursday for their Christmas function. Yep, I'm crazy.
So, off we hopped to the local Coles supermarket. Stepping outside for the first time today, I noticed it actually wasnt that hot...maybe 32 degrees?? Doh! That means i have no excuse to not hang out the washing!
Anyways, we spent about $70 just getting the ingredients. As I'm paying, I'm looking at the pre-made rumballs, and the nice little packages of festive chocolates, and I cannot quite figure out why I am not just buying them already.
Sucker for punishment.
All said and done though, the kids loved it. Sash made Christmas Balls which entailed coconut going EVERYWHERE; Jaspa made little homemade peppermint chocolates; I did the rum balls and we are going to tackle the best brownies ever in the history of the world...mmmmm
Oh, and the previously mentioned work party entails all the people in Chadd's team up here, plus their wives and their kids. Oh, and I have met two of them. Fun stuff.
At least I get to decorate for the day. You all know how much I love that part :-)
