I have none! I had Christmas lunch on Sunday with my son and daughter-in-law and I'm working tomorrow from 2pm until 9.30 the next morning, so I bought two bags of oranges to eat during my work shift!

Just a quiet family xmas for us this year. As we speak I can hear mum in the kitchen whipping up a pav and doing the brandy snaps. Roast lamb for tomorrow. I hope everyone has a nice relaxing day.

No prep for me at all, it’s just me and my cat this year, so having no traditional Christmas foods, just the usual, ordinary junk I have on weekends like hash browns and eggs, frozen pizza, etc. :D
My boss made me some fresh eggnog with vodka, so at least I have a Christmas drink. :)

Boys are fast asleep.  2 layers of the trifle are done.  Potatos prepped. 

Time for the annual double bill of While You Were Sleeping and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Love to all

I have finally put my feet up.. underestimated how long it takes to wrap presents.. was bunching them up in the end for my kidlets. 
Pizza for tea after trying to prep as much as possible for tomorrow but mostly ready. Can’t wait to crack into some Christmas food bring on the stuffing. 
Merry Christmas yall

1 child sound asleep, the older one finding the excitement too much to fall asleep! A bike to be wrapped and a nest swing for their new playground down the back of our land.... one pavlova done and 'cooling' forever in the oven, sugar biscuits baked and iced in the crazy way only kids know how. Ham is glazed and baked, croissants rising ready for breakfast baking, and we're all in matching Christmas PJ's (hubby looks hilarious ... but love that he joins in without complaint!) .... just got the chewed up carrot to sprinkle on the lawn, some footprints to place and stockings to fill when I'm sure the 8 year old is actually sleeping .... Nespresso pods are lined up by the machine

It would appear that Santa's sleigh has hit a power pole near my house and we've been without power for the last two hours. Just as well I didn't have anything I needed to prepare tonight. Early night for me lol.

We had our family Christmas on sunday so it was all on. It was from 5ish so we had all day to prep. It ended up being awesome.  19 family members ranging from 13months to 84years old. Christmas day is a total relax for us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL XXX

I hope you all had a wonderful day. I ate so much food I was about to pop by the end of the night lol and omg so much food still leftover. I'm thinking about heading to town for a shop but the crowds will be insane so perhaps a nice stroll down the beach....it's a glorious day here :-)

Well todays family xmas was a disaster hahaahaha we very clearly pissed his mother off (do i look bovverd tho??? Lol no, no i dont)
And then for what was probably 2 hours lil madam screamed her head off at my parents cos there was too much going on and way too many sounds and faces getting in hers. Not a happy girl today :'(

On the plus side it makes me want to cancel christmas next year hahahahahahaha

We are staying with hubbie's brother and sister-in-law in Auckland and must say it's been so nice and relaxing. Only bad thing is that I've been eating way too much. I've eaten about a weeks worth of food in like 3 days, but went for a nice walk around into town and then Dress Mart, which was crazy busy.  Went into Love My Makeup shop and got a couple of things.

We're heading back to Whangarei tomorrow and I'm super looking forward to sleeping in my own bed ha ha ha.

Omgosh, dressmart is crazy, I really think they need to move it or redesign the whole building.  The first time we went it took us so long to find our way out again...lol
