Fathers, footy and food

If my weekend was to be summed up in 3 words ….”fathers, footy and food” would certainly be my words of choice.

And boy was it wonderful!

Miss C loved meeting her “Jonpa” for the first time – and by the smiles on his face, I suspect the feeling was well and truly mutual.

She also loved the teddy bear he gave her – and wasted no time in giving it her seal of approval….

yep – straight into her mouth!

We rugged up on Saturday, and headed to the local footy for C’s first AFL game…

But when the sun started to disappear, and the temperature dropped along with it, we decided to escape the cold and watch a game from the comforts (and warmth!) of home instead…

Much better!

Footy and father’s aside, our weekend was also about food. Perhaps a post for another day, but here is a preview. A baked potato buffet…

Chocolate mousse…

A delightful weekend all round!

What about you? Do you have a unique name for any of your grandparents?

  1. Your family are such good troopers letting their photos go up here! :-)
    I think your hair still looks lovely. Don't worry about it; it will thicken up again in time.

  4. that smile is so gorgeous on Miss C but her look towards your dad in the top photo is priceless - and the food all looks delicious - would never think to use sweet potatoes in a sweet potato bake - fancy that

  6. Yum - That potato looks divine! Sadly I have no living grandparents but when I did they had pretty normal names.
