Boo!
YAY FOR SUMMER!! And not a moment too soon I might add. I think I can now safely pack away my ugg boots...that were last worn all day on Wednesday...bwhwha. If someone had've told me a few months ago that I'd still be wearing ugh boots at night 2 weeks into December I think I would have had them incarcerated.
I had my hair cut today...it's just starting to recover from an horrendous razor-cut incident of about 3 months ago when I had to book at the last minute and couldn't get my normal hairdresser...won't be making that mistake again. Anyhoo we are having some family photos taken tomorrow to give to the parental and grand-parental units for xmas, plus one or two to keep for ourselves too so I'm looking forward to that. Mind you I must do something about Ben's hair first as he went for the mohawk look a few weeks back and it has now grown back sufficiently enough that it now looks like he has a ferret on his head.
All sorted for xmas - just have to take delivery of ben's new bbq during the week (NO-ONE MENTION THIS TO HIM PLS!!) and pick up a digi camera for my bro (expecting a bub in march..well, his other half is) and a cordless phone for my sis (moving out on her own in the new yr) and wrap them, and then get some frames for the photos and wrap them and we're all done n dusted. Need to get this out of the way early in the week so i've got time to start shopping/cooking for the chrissy day onslaught at our place, beginning with the arrival of half of ben's family on friday morning, followed by a few more on saturday, with festive feasting commencing on saturday night with xmas eve roast (bloody europeans who celebrate on xmas eve), then an all day feast on xmas day starting with a pancake & champagne breakfast...followed by the opening of presents when all of my family arrive, at which point I assume ben will be promptly out setting up and testing his new addition to the outdoor entertainment family in preparation for the MEGA seafood and cold meat/salad lunch we have planned (at this point we have 10kgs of prawns, 8kgs of squid, 9 crayfish, 5kgs of marron and 3kgs of scallops...mmmm). Along with the turkey & chook followed by my nan's famous trifle, some pavlova, custard puffs and fruit platters, we should all still be eating well into next winter.
Ok wayyyy past my bedtime now, will try to update more during the week about other stuff and post up some more pics of the boy :)
