B-Rocka's final days....

So last Wednesday B's year in NZ finally came to an end - something that we've been having major anxieties about for a few month's now :( But before she left we had to take advantage of our few last moments together

......With a Friday night date night to Kiwiyo & then some super rushed shopping at Albany....(or maybe it was the other way around, I can't remember?)

Then on Saturday it was off to Time Out for Women for a bit of motivation & upliftment....

And after that we topped off an already awesome day with a little bit more shopping out at Albany (to satisfy Mell's obsession with the $5 Cotton On shoes....think she must have them in almost every colour now!)....And dinner at the Postman's leg :)

Then on Monday night it was B's last supper (Fish & chips!) followed by a cool FHE going through our older brother Matthew's special box full of his old clothes (which are still in surprisingly good condition!)...

Here are some of the pics of the costume changes that were going on....

Mell wearing Mum's wig 

(She also had a few of Mum's things that she was showing the kids too)

Mac wearing Uncle Matthew's special leather vest :) This one was a fave with all the kiddies, especially Faith & I think Mell said that the girls are still rocking it around home. So cute xx

Mumma's gym bag

Mac wearing Mumma's head scarf thingy

I find this pic of my hubby really disturbing! No attraction to him whatsoever here lol (let's hope he never grows his hair like this!!)

Uncle Matthew's styly shoes

Smelly undies :)

Spency playing our fave FHE game, Don't eat Pete. So up his alley!

The game not so much up Pod & Mac's alley on the other hand. They love the lollies but find it a bit traumatic pointing to a lolly just in case they get out on the first go lol....I can understand that :)

Ah B's last visit to Peach to say goodbye to Mac & Stan on Tuesday afternoon

Leaving for the airport. B's last pic outside Ensign

A few final pics at the airport :(

We've loved EVERY minute of having our special sister & Aunty here this past year, so it's been tough this last week not having her stop by each day & being able to see her smiling face :( You could say she's left a big gaping hole in our lives lol....but we're so grateful for all the fun times that we've had as well & are so, so thankful for the technology that allows us to still talk to her whenever we want to. We love you Ah B & hope we get to see you again real soon xxxx

B's slideshow for her farewell dinner....she'd only just had one for her birthday last month, but we didn't know whether she'd be expecting a going away one as well seeing as we made one for Pete's last supper, so we made one just in case :).....you can never have too many slideshows right ??!!
