The Ruests visit Nr. 8 Riverside Close

We had another fun-filled weekend with lots of family and some friends.  John's sister Debbie, her husband Ken and the 2 kids, Nicholas & Karina came to visit us for the first time at our new house.  They arrived on Friday afternoon and our Cape Town weather played along till after they left! :)  

On Saturday we decided to have some family and friends over for a braai and in good old John & Toni tradition, there is no such thing as a small braai, so we invited all the Cape Town family and a few friends.  We had to take our dining room table outside to have seating for the 14 adults and decided to put blankets on the grass for the 4 children.  All in all we were 19 people including little baby Anna who slept most of the time.  It was absolutely fantastic to have everyone visit us. 

We started the day with a belated Easter egg hunt.  John and I got 63 eggs and it was hidden all over our garden.

With winter around the corner and elections on Wednesday it is going to be a cold and exciting week seeing who's going to rule our country for the next few years.  

So to all the South Africans out there reading my blog ... get your asses in gear and go to your closest voting station! X

Lots of love to everyone!
