"It's a new year after all, It's a new year after all, It's a new year after all...it's a new new year..." :)
Yes, the silly season has that affect on me...am back at work and trying my hardest to be all sane and responsible today though!
So how was your Christmas and New Years? Fabulous i hope! Mine was chocked with so much fun stuff that i don't even know where to begin..
So Christmas Eve was spent with the boy...we both had family stuff to do separately the next day so we thought it was a good idea to get our pressies out of the way...tee hee hee
Our loot...I made it a point to minimise packaging for all the gifts i was giving this year so that big box covered in the fancy Lush Times wrapping paper (reuse, reduce, recycle right?) is from me and the other 3 gifts were FOR me...
Dean ripping into his pressie...
I got him a fancy silvery grey patterned fedora from Marvel in Ponsonby...
And...because he's quite a Mario fan, this cool shirt from Noisebot...
Now...my turn...if you've been following my blog...you'll have a rough idea as to the reason behind my high level of excitement...see cheesy grin...
Because...i got a COOKIE PRESS!!!!
And yes, i've tried it...takes a bit of practice that's for sure! So ladies, who wants to borrow it for a week or 2? (Psst...Bee you get to be first in line :) )
Next pressie...I wasn't sure what to think...
Then i realize what it was! Yay, Singstar...i've wanted it for ages...we were still hoarse days later after playing it...
I hope you'll excuse the same pose...i don't move much when there's present opening to be had tee hee hee...
And finally...this wee box...
Dean got me this gorgeous greenstone necklace...I absolutely love it...(normally greenstone has to be 'blessed' by the person who gives it to you so Dean wished for happiness for all the days of my life...I wear it together with my love pendant nowadays so i've got love and happiness wherever i go, yay!)
Woot woot...next day i scootered over to my sisters...
We went to Christmas morning mass at St Michael's in Remuera...
Then home for present opening!
Stockings first...Santa must've dropped in when we were out!
Mmmm...real pressies...
I got Joe this wool sweater and a book of smoothie recipes by Innocent...
And here's my sister with her loot...she'd been wanting a y-front purse from Luxford St for like forever!
I also got her one of lilysmakebelieve's gorgeous sushi charm necklaces! (I stole the piccie from Olivia's FB page...)
Woah...i haven't even started on Christmas at Dean's mums place yet and this has turned into an essay! Might save it for another day...
Hugs hugs hugs
Miss Deb
Happy New Year Deb!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your christmas was a gooden! :) I have that book for you and it is my mission to drop it to you shortly, promise. Fav gift was? I hope your sister loved the sushi!
Hahah, well you could prolly pass me the book at the next K-bomb, not sure if i'm in yet but i'd definately visit anyway.
ReplyDeleteFav gift was prolly my cookie press x
She did, i wore it for a while before Christmas just to see if she'd noticed and she did...so when she found it in her stocking on Christmas she was stoked. Hee hee..
Now i need to get one for me...
wow it looks like you had such a great time! I love your facials in the photos, you obviously were channelling (sp?) your inner 4 year old happiness when opening xmas presents! GENIUS!!!

A cookie press!! Lucky gal.
ReplyDeleteYou must take pics of your baked goods. And yes I'd love to use it one day!
FaerySarah - Lol...that was pure excitement because i hadn't the faintest clue what Dean was going to get me (we only started going out a little while ago so i didn't think he'd be so spot on with my pressies hehehe)so when it was something i wanted so much...hahah...the 4 year old within took over...
ReplyDeleteBee - Didn't dare post photos of the first lot as they were quite munted hahah...Dean wanted to have a go too so there was a cookie dough war in the kitchen!
