Grace and her friends joined the New Year's Dive for the second time this year. From left: Jolein, Helene, Grace & Merel. Chris wanted too but he has colds so i didn't let him. I should have joined them as i had promised last year but since DH isn't here to join us i opted out. The water tempearture then was 3 degrees celcius. 
Here they are running to the sea. A pity it was too busy i couldn't go fast to the water front so i don't have pictures for that even when they out of the water, i have to ask one of the other mothers to share their pictures later.
I've been busy today preparing for my belated b-day celebration tomorrow. Here's a picture of the apple & pineapple cake that's just done. A couple of recipes mainly asians are also done so by morning i'll be busy for some snacks.
Peace

I've stitched the piece for my January Ornament SAL. Hopefully to finish it off into an ornament next week.
It's 7:30 pm and what a quiet moment i have right now. DH took the kids to town, (shops are open here till 9pm on fridays), i was quite surprise when they said they are going out...it's surely a surprise what they come up with and i think they'll give it tomorrow, so my curiousity have to wait.
Thank you all so much for stopping by and all the lovely comments. I really really appreciate them all.
