The Little Drummer Boy

Howdy. Now, this post is obviously bordering on the very belated side but what can you do? We are house-sitting at the moment and the house doesn’t pick up our internet connection very well so it took me 2 hours to load the included photos. There would have been more but I had the urge to drown the laptop and would have carried through had I tried to blog any longer.

The Christmas festivities started on Christmas Eve which was spent at Barbaras house (my photos are not in order so the photos where I have a white dress and red belt are from Christmas Eve and the Blue & White Stripe Dress is from Christmas Day) and then kicked on to lunch at Dads house on the 25th and dinner at our house (fear not, I did not cook) with my Mums side of the family. Needless to say, the person who holds the dinner always gets shafted as we are so full from the lunch that its hard to digest any more food.

This is the table at Dads house, which looked magnificent. My table looked crap so I wont even bother sharing it with you.

These Doves are from Ikea and are now hanging on our front door.   

The place cards contained little red lollies which I feel like are Jaffas but you just never know.    

I have a feeling that this tree was the ‘special’ tree at the Christmas Tree Farm. I can just tell that it got picked on for having no curves, not that I’ve ever experienced such a thing. It's always the tall and lanky kids.

I picked up this flower headband on Friday before my cut (I think it was from Ojay) incase I really hated my hair and thought that this would take away the attention from it, but now I realize that it would have drawn the attention in! Doesn’t matter though as I love my hair!!

I don’t normally drink soft drink (unless accompanied by vodka of course) but these little coke cans are too cute.

Sophia!!!! This kid is amazing.

I wore my old faithful dress from Forever New and whilst The Husband was taking this photo of me my mum walked in and then 5 minutes later asked me ‘Do you have anything to tell me??’ as in ‘You look FAT – Are you pregnant?’. Sheesh. Cannot even eat a big lunch these days.

As Faux Fuchsia said – this is Hamtastic.

I was really excited when I heard that there was so much hail in Melbourne that it was looking like snow, our car was underground so it didn’t bother me, but we didn’t get the hail!! Damn it. It’s terrible how much damage it did to cars and what not though.

My brother Lucas got out in the pouring rain to BBQ the Garlic Mushrooms for us, what a hero (and not in the Muzza way).

Yes, she is quite special isn’t she. She said the glass tasted like chocolate cake. It wasn’t just one lick here or there either, it was full on pashing the glass.

Just incase I needed some bags to carry my truckload of presents (which didn’t exist) home, I had them right under my eyes for convenience.

I want one of these!!! It does remind me of a cheery KKK costume though.

Hair cut twins!! Ashleigh-Rose said that she preferred my hair long though, as I look too different. Well, too late sunshine. I’ve been calling everyone sunshine lately.

As far as presents go, I got a trip to Daylesford from el husbo (post to come), cash, framed photos of my nieces and a basil plant. I hope everyone got exactly what they asked Santa for!
