Christmas.
Christmas & Stuff.
Our last day of work on Saturday was relatively quiet which was kind of good!
On Sunday, G & I went to pick up the wedding proofs from the photographer. We watched them all in a slideshow & they are fantastic! There are some not-so-good ones of me, particularly before the wedding when I was trying to calm myself down during an anxiety attack but there are some gorgeous ones of the flowergirls, G & the group shot turned out great! We have to pick 100 for our album & then they'll go on a website so we can share them with everyone.
Christmas.
Got to mum & dad's early so I could help mum cook. Then we opened presents & all of my cousins' arrived. We did the present thing as well & then we sat down to roast chickens, roast turkey stuffed with apricot & apples, ham, crunchy noodle salad, bread rolls, plum pudding, icecream & apple pie! We all waddled out the door 4hrs later... G & I drove straight down to Butler to his parents' house.
G's nephews & nieces loved their presents & I ended up spending most of my time with Luke playing with his DS. We managed to eat dinner & then we came home.
I have been cursing (read: internally screaming) the people that were supposed to fix our aircon 2yrs ago (TWO YEARS) Yesterday, our apartment got up to 48 degrees & it's still horribly hot & stuffy. I was about to kill someone yesterday so G & I went and saw 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets' at Subi. It was good & then we had dinner at Wagamama which was awesome as usual.
Today we went into town to spend vouchers & stuff. It was crowded & the DJ shoe womens department looked like a nuclear site. I made the mistake of going to the one in Sydney one year & I will never go again. Went to JB at Innaloo as well, then dropped in on my parents' to pick up some more ham.
Presents:

* 'In the Frame' by Helen Mirren, 'Manhunt: The 12 day chase for Abraham Lincoln's Killer' by James L.Swanson - my cousins in QLD
We are staying home tomorrow since we still have to be careful with money. Also, we have so many games to play! I might even get out the Kitchenaid & make something.
I am LOVING this cool breeze!
Time to play on the WII!
